Diamonds and RustWell I'll be damned, here comes your ghost againbut 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 |
