Lyrics

[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
