Diamonds And Rust歌词

[00:27.440]well i'll be damned
[00:30.240]here comes your ghost again
[00:33.330]but that's not unusual
[00:37.620]it's just that the moon is full
[00:41.010]and you happened to call
[00:46.000]and here i sit
[00:48.200]hand on the telephone
[00:51.790]hearing a voice i'd known
[00:55.880]a couple of light years ago
[00:59.370]heading straight for a fall
[01:07.750]as i remember your eyes
[01:10.840]were bluer than robin's eggs
[01:13.940]my poetry was lousy you said
[01:18.130]where are you calling from
[01:21.120]a booth in the midwest
[01:27.310]ten years ago
[01:29.000]i bought you some cufflinks
[01:32.100]you brought me something
[01:35.590]we both know what memories can bring
[01:39.590]they bring diamonds and rust
[02:04.920]well you burst on the scene
[02:07.520]already a legend
[02:10.410]the unwashed phenomenon
[02:14.000]the original vagabond
[02:17.600]you strayed into my arms
[02:22.280]and there you stayed
[02:25.080]temporarily lost at sea
[02:28.670]the madonna was yours for free
[02:32.360]yes the girl on the half-shell
[02:36.250]could keep you unharmed
[02:44.130]now i see you standing
[02:46.230]with brown leaves falling around
[02:48.020]and snow in your hair
[02:51.220]now you're smiling out the window
[02:53.210]of that crummy hotel
[02:54.610]over washington square
[02:58.800]our breath comes out white clouds
[03:01.290]mingles and hangs in the air
[03:05.980]speaking strictly for me
[03:07.990]we both could have died then and there
[03:30.530]now you're telling me
[03:32.120]you're not nostalgic
[03:36.210]then give me another word for it
[03:40.200]you who are so good with words
[03:43.000]and at keeping things vague
[03:47.790]because i need some of that vagueness now
[03:50.280]it's all come back too clearly
[03:53.370]yes i loved you dearly
[03:57.070]and if you're offering me diamonds and rust
[04:01.060]i've already paid
