Diamonds and Rust
Well I'll be dammed, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual. It's just that moon if full
And you happened to call And here I sit, 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 midnest Ten years ago, I boutht you some cufflinks
You brought me something. We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust.
Well you brust on the scene already a legend
The unwatched phenomenon, the original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed, temporality lost at sea
The madona was your's for free
Yes the girl on the half shell Coulp keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smilling out the window of that crummy hotel
Over Washington souare
Out breath comes out white clouds mingles & hangs in the air
Speaking strickly for me , wh both coulp've died then and then
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
Then gire me another word for it
You who're so good with words and at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back to clearly Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamondds and rust I've already paid
