Daniel Lanois
Born in Time (Unreleased version #2)
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I walk alone through the shaking street
Listening to my heartbeat
In the record breaking heat
When we were born in time
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just, when I thought, you were gone, you came back
Just, when I was ready, to receive ya
[Chorus 1]
You were smooth, you were rough
You were more, than enough
Oh baby, why did I ever leave ya?
I bereave ya
[Verse 3]
On 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
[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just, when I knew, who to thank, you went blank
And just, when the firelight, was gleaming
[Chorus 2]
You were snow, you were rain
You were striped, you were plain
Oh babe, can it be that you've been scheming
Or was I dreaming
[Verse 4]
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
