Lyrics

(First release, live version, february 1, 1998, new jersey center, new jersey)

One, two, a-one two three…

In the lonely night
In the shadows of a pale moonlight
I think of you in black and white
When we were made of dreams
I walk alone through the shakin' street
I'm a-listenin' to 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, I'll have no more of this
It's much too cruel, it's much too cool, way too revealing
You came, you saw, just like the law
You married young, just like your ma
Oh babe, how you left me reelin' with this feelin'
Up on the rising curve
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve
I held you close and got what I deserve
Where we were born in time

You pressed me once, pressed me twice
You hang the flame, but you'll pay the price
Oh babe, and that fire is still smokin'
You were snow, you were rain
You were striped, lord and you were plain
Oh babe, truer words have never 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
