Born In Time Lyrics - Babyface

Written by bob dylan (1990) 

Performed by eric clapton 

In the rolling night 

In the stardust of a pale moon light 

I think of you in black and white 

When we were made of dreams 

I walk alone through the shady streets 

Listening to my heart beat 

In the record-breaking heat 

And we were born in time 

Just when I thought you were gone 

You came back 

Just when I regretted to receive you

You were smooth, you were rough 

You were more and enough 

Ah babe, why did I believe it 

I believe it in the rising curve 

And the ways of nature will test every nerve 

I took you close and got what I deserved 

And 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 striped, and you were plain 

Oh babe, can it be you've been scheming 

Well I'd really be in the hills of mystery 

In the foggy web of destiny 

You're still so deep inside of me 

And we were born in time

Original version: 

In the lonely night 

In the blinking stardust of a pale blue light 

You're comin' thru to me in black and white 

When we were made of dreams 

You're blowing down the shaky street 

You're hearing my heart beat 

In the record breaking heat 

Where we were born in time 

Not one more night, not one more kiss 

Not this time baby, no more of this 

Takes too much skill, takes too much will 

It's revealing 

You came, you saw, just like the law 

You married young, just like your ma 

You tried and tried, you made me slide 

You left me reelin' with this feelin' 

On the rising curve 

Where the ways of nature will test every nerve 

You won't get anything you don't deserve 

Where we were born in time 

You pressed me once, you pressed me twice 

You hang the flame, you'll pay the price 

Oh babe, that fire 

Is still smokin' 

You were snow, you were rain 

You were striped, you were plain 

Oh babe, truer words 

Have not been spoken or broken 

In the hills of mystery 

In the foggy web of destiny 

You can have what's left of me 

Where we were born in time
