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 |
