| [00:25.79] |
Well I'll be damned |
| [00:28.47] |
Here comes your ghost again |
| [00:31.96] |
But that's not unusual |
| [00:35.19] |
It's just that the moon is full |
| [00:38.54] |
And you happened to call |
| [00:43.29] |
And here I sit |
| [00:45.54] |
Hand on the telephone |
| [00:49.16] |
Hearing a voice I'd known |
| [00:52.47] |
A couple of light years ago |
| [00:56.12] |
Heading straight for a fall |
| [00:58.80] |
|
| [01:03.70] |
As I remember your eyes |
| [01:06.52] |
Were bluer than robin's eggs |
| [01:09.80] |
My poetry was lousy you said |
| [01:13.37] |
Where are you calling from |
| [01:16.65] |
A booth in the midwest |
| [01:21.71] |
|
| [01:25.25] |
Ten years ago |
| [01:26.89] |
I bought you some cufflinks |
| [01:30.36] |
You brought me something |
| [01:33.70] |
We both know what memories can bring |
| [01:37.06] |
They bring diamonds and rust |
| [01:41.59] |
|
| [02:00.11] |
Well you burst on the scene |
| [02:02.68] |
Already a legend |
| [02:05.89] |
The unwashed phenomenon |
| [02:09.33] |
The original vagabond |
| [02:12.82] |
You strayed into my arms |
| [02:17.28] |
And there you stayed |
| [02:19.68] |
Temporarily lost at sea |
| [02:23.35] |
The Madonna was yours for free |
| [02:26.94] |
Yes the girl on the half-shell |
| [02:30.43] |
Could keep you unharmed |
| [02:33.67] |
|
| [02:37.70] |
Now I see you standing |
| [02:39.30] |
With brown leaves falling around |
| [02:40.59] |
And snow in your hair |
| [02:44.52] |
Now you're smiling out the window |
| [02:46.41] |
Of that crummy hotel |
| [02:47.69] |
Over Washington Square |
| [02:51.64] |
Our breath comes out white clouds |
| [02:54.21] |
Mingles and hangs in the air |
| [02:58.48] |
Speaking strictly for me |
| [03:00.57] |
We both could have died then and there |
| [03:05.82] |
|
| [03:22.34] |
Now you're telling me |
| [03:25.28] |
You're not nostalgic |
| [03:29.44] |
Then give me another word for it |
| [03:32.44] |
You who are so good with words |
| [03:35.60] |
And at keeping things vague |
| [03:39.86] |
Because I need some of that vagueness now |
| [03:42.24] |
It's all come back too clearly |
| [03:45.63] |
I loved you dearly |
| [03:49.12] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| [03:53.34] |
I've already paid |
| [03:58.63] |
|
