Born In Time lyrics

Written by bob dylan (1990)Performed by eric claptonIn the rolling nightIn the stardust of a pale moon lightI think of you in black and whiteWhen we were made of dreamsI walk alone through the shady streetsListening to my heart beatIn the record-breaking heatAnd we were born in timeJust when I thought you were goneYou came backJust when I regretted to receive youYou were smooth, you were roughYou were more and enoughAh babe, why did I believe itI believe it in the rising curveAnd the ways of nature will test every nerveI took you close and got what I deservedAnd we were born in timeJust when I knew who to thankYou went blankJust as the firelight was gleamingYou were snow, you were rainYou were striped, and you were plainOh babe, can it be you’ve been schemingWell I’d really be in the hills of mysteryIn the foggy web of destinyYou’re still so deep inside of meAnd we were born in time--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Original version:In the lonely nightIn the blinking stardust of a pale blue lightYou’re comin’ thru to me in black and whiteWhen we were made of dreamsYou’re blowing down the shaky streetYou’re hearing my heart beatIn the record breaking heatWhere we were born in timeNot one more night, not one more kissNot this time baby, no more of thisTakes too much skill, takes too much willIt’s revealingYou came, you saw, just like the lawYou married young, just like your maYou tried and tried, you made me slideYou left me reelin’ with this feelin’On the rising curveWhere the ways of nature will test every nerveYou won’t get anything you don’t deserveWhere we were born in timeYou pressed me once, you pressed me twiceYou hang the flame, you’ll pay the priceOh babe, that fireIs still smokin’You were snow, you were rainYou were striped, you were plainOh babe, truer wordsHave not been spoken or brokenIn the hills of mysteryIn the foggy web of destinyYou can have what’s left of meWhere we were born in time
