Born In Time - Outtake from 'Oh Mercy' sessions

In the lonely night
 In the blinking stardust of a pale blue light
 You're coming through 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 reeling with this feeling
 On the rising curve
 Where the ways of nature will test every nerve
 You don'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 smoking
 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
