Born in Time — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

(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,

Im 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, Ill have no more of this.

Its much too cruel, its 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 youll 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 whats left of me,

Where we were born in time.
