Diamonds and Rust |
| Well I'll be damned |
| Here comes your ghost again |
| But that's not unusual |
| It's just that the moon is full |
| And you happened to call |
| And here I sit |
| My hand on the telephone |
| Hearing a voice I'd known |
| A couple of light years ago |
| Heading 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 |
| Oh, and 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 |
| Could keep you unharmed |
| Now I see you standing with leaves falling around and snow in your hair |
| Now you're smiling out the window of that hotel over Washington Square |
| Our breath comes out white clouds mingles and hangs in the air |
| Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died then and there |
| Now you're telling me |
| You're not nostalgic |
| Then give me another word for it |
| You who are 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 |
| And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| I've already paid |
| Diamonds and rust |
| Diamonds and rust |
| Diamonds and rust |
