Born In Time
Eric Clapton Song Lyrics

In the lonely night,In the stardust of a pale moonlight,I think of you in black and whiteWhen we were made of dreams.I walked alone through the shaky streets,Listening to my heart beatIn the record-breaking heatWhen we were born in time.Just when I thought you were gone, you came backJust 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 youOr believe you?In the rising curve,Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,I took you close and got what I deserveWhen we were born in time.Just when I knew who to thank, you went blankJust 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 schemingOr was I dreaming?In the hills of mystery,In the foggy web of destiny,You're still so deep inside of meWhen we were born in time.
