Born In Time (Unreleased Version #2, "Oh Mercy")

In the lonely night In the smokin' stardust of a pale blue light You're standin' there in black and white Where we were made of dreams I walk alone through the shakin' street Listenin' to my heartbeat In the record-breaking heat Where we were born in time Just, when I thought, you were gone, you came back Just, when I knew it was for certain You were high, you were low You were so, easy to know Oh, baby, now is time to raise the curtain I've been hurting Upon the rising curve Where the ways of nature will test every nerve Took me in and I got what I deserved Where we were born in the time Just, when I knew, who to thank, you went blank Just, when the hope of fires stops smokin' You were snow, you were rain You were striped, you were plain Oh, babe, truer words, have not been spoken Or broken In the hills of mystery In the foggy web of destiny You're still so deep inside of me Where we were born in time
