Born In Time (Unreleased version #2, Oh Mercy) - Bob Dylan

In the lonely night

In the stardust of a pale moonlight

I think of you in black and white

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

Just when I thought you were gone you came back

Just 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 you

Or bereave you

On 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

Just when I knew who to thank you went blank

Just in the firelight was gleaming

You were snow you were rain

You were stripes 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
