In the lonely night
In the stardust of a pale blue light
I think of you in black and white
When we were made of dreams
I walk along through the shaking street
Listening to my heartbeat
In the record-breaking heat
When we were born in time
Just when I thought you were gone, you came back
Just when I was ready to receive ya
You were smooth, you were rough
You were more than enough
Oh babe, why did I ever leave ya?
Or grieve ya?
On the rising curve
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve
I took you close and got what I deserve
When we were born in time
Just when I knew who to thank, you went blank
Just when the firelight was gleaming
You were snow, you were rain
You were striped, you were plain
Oh babe, can it be that you've been scheming?
Or was I dreaming?
In the hills of mystery
In the foggy web of destiny
You're still so deep inside of me
When we were born in time
