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
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
