Lyrics
In the lonely night
In the stardust of a pale blue light
I think of you in black and white
When we were made of dreams

I walk alone through the shaking street
Listening 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 was waiting to receive ya

You were smooth, you were rough
You were more than enough
Oh baby, why did I ever leave ya?
I bereave ya

On the rising curve
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve
I took you close and got what I deserved
When we were born in time

Just when I knew who to thank you went blank
And just when the firelight was gleaming

You were snow, you were rain
You were striped, you were plain
Oh babe, can it be that 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

La version "Tell Tale Signs" est à tomber.

La version "Tell Tale Signs" est à tomber.

Oui, c'est elle qui m'a fait réaliser à quel point le morceau était fort et poignant. Et qui m'a fait reconsidérer un peu "Under The Red Sky" même si elle aurait eu plus de gueule sur "Oh Mercy". On va pas refaire l'histoire.

Pour la petite anecdote, la chanson "Born In Time" sort en 1990 et je suis né en 1990. "Born in Time".   

Franchement, pourquoi l'a-t-il réenregistrée ? Ah là là...
La classe Hazel   

Je déteste Eric Clapton mais bon, je partage malgré tout...

Si seulement il rejouait cette chanson en concert...En plus avec sa voix actuelle ça ne pourrait être qu'une réussite à moins de faire exprès !

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.

Le pont est très Nick Cave, je trouve.

Une bien belle version de 1997 :
