Well I'll be damned, here comes your ghost
again
but that's not unusual
it's just like the moon is full
and you happened to call
And here I sit, my hand on the telephone
hearing the voice I'd known
a couple of light years ago
headed straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from
A booth in the Midwest
Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks
When you brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
Well you
burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing with leaves all around and snow in
your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of the hotel over
washington square
Our breath comes out white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
then give me another word for it
you were so good with words
and at keeping things vague
cause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too
clearly
oh, I loved you dearly
if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
