        E
In the lonely night.
                     C#m
In the stardust of a pale moonlight.
                   F#m
I think of you in black and white,
      Am               E
when we were made of dreams.

I walked alone through the shaky streets
Listening to my heart beat
In the record-breaking heat
When we were born in time

Chorus:
E             B               A             E
Just when I thought you were gone you came back.
                 B          E
Just when I was ready to receive you.
           E              B
You were smooth you were rough.
          A          E
You were more than enough.
E       F#m               B
Ahh baby, why did I ever leave you?
A
Or believe you?

In the rising curve
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve
I took you close and got what I deserve
When we were born in time

Chorus:
Just when I knew who to thank, you went blank
Just 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 scheming?
Or was I dreaming?

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

In time
In time
In time
