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 alone through the shakin' street,
Listening to my heart beat
In the record breaking heat
When we were born in time.

Just when I knew you were gone, you came back
Just when I knew It was for certain
You were high, you were low
You were so easy to know
Ah babe, now is time to raise the curtain
I'm hurtin'.

Upon the rising curve
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,
I took you close and got what I deserved
When we were born in time.

Just when I knew
who to thank, you went blank
Just when the whole fires start smokin'
You were snow, you were rain
You were stripes, you were plain
Oh babe, truer words
Have not been spoken
or broken.

In the hills of mystery,
In the foggy web of destiny,
I think of you from deep inside of me,
When we were born in time.
