In the lonely night, In the stardust of a pale moonlight, I think of you in black and white When we were made of dreams. I walked alone through the shaky streets, Listening to my heart beat 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 you. You were smooth, you were rough,, You were more than enough. Ah babe, why did I ever leave you , Or bereave you? 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 as the firelight was gleaming. You were snow, you were rain, , You were stripes and you were plain. , Oh babe, can it be 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
