 In the lonely  night
 In the blinking stardust of a pale  blue light
 You're comin' thru to me in black  and white
 When we  were made  of dreams.
 You're blowing down the shaky street,
 You're hearing 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 baby,  no more of this.
 Takes too much skill,  takes too much will.
 It's too revealing.
 You came, you saw,  just like the law
 You married young,  just like your ma,
 You tried and tried,  you made me slide
 You left me reelin'
with  this feelin'.
 On the rising curve
 Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,
 You won't get anything you don't deserve
 Where we were born in time.
 You pressed me once, you pressed me twice,
 You hang the flame, you'll pay the price.
 Oh babe, that fire
 Is still 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 can have what's left of me,
 Where we were born in time.

In the [G]lonely night
In the blinking stardust of a [Em]pale blue light
You're comin' thru to me in [Am7]black and white
When [C]we were [Cm]made of [G]dreams.

You're blowing down the shaky street,
You're hearing my heart beat
In the record breaking heat
Where we were born in time.

Not one more [G]night, not one more [D]kiss,
Not this time [C]baby, no more of [G/B]this.
Takes too much [G]skill, takes too much [D]will.
It's too re[G]vealing.
You came, you [G]saw, just like the [D]law
You married [C]young, just like your [G/B]ma,
You tried and [G]tried, you made me [Am]slide
You left me [D]reelin'
[G/B]with this feel[C]in'.

On the rising curve
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,
You won't get anything you don't deserve
Where we were born in time.

You pressed me once, you pressed me twice,
You hang the flame, you'll pay the price.
Oh babe, that fire
Is still 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 can have what's left of me,
Where we were born in time.
