[ti:Diamonds And Rust]
[ar:Blackmore's Night]
[al:Ghost of a Rose]
[00:14.66]Well I'll be damned
[00:16.81]Here comes your ghost again
[00:20.61]But that's not unusual
[00:23.87]It's just that the moon is full
[00:27.76]And you happened to call
[00:35.57]And here I sit
[00:37.69]Hand on the telephone
[00:41.58]Hearing a voice I'd known
[00:45.19]A couple of light years ago
[00:48.62]Heading straight for a fall
[00:56.65]As I remember your eyes
[00:59.28]Were bluer than robin's eggs
[01:02.66]My poetry was lousy you said
[01:06.57]Where are you calling from?
[01:09.74]A booth in the midwest
[01:17.73]Ten years ago
[01:19.88]I bought you some cufflinks
[01:23.36]You brought me something
[01:26.95]We both know what memories can bring
[01:32.50]They bring diamonds and rust
[01:47.74]Well you burst on the scene
[01:49.98]Already a legend
[01:53.44]The unwashed phenomenon
[01:56.81]The original vagabond
[02:00.23]You strayed into my arms
[02:05.22]And there you stayed
[02:07.80]Temporarily lost at sea
[02:10.96]The Madonna was yours for free
[02:14.29]Yes the girl on the half-shell
[02:17.96]Would keep you unharmed
[02:25.81]Now I see you standing
[02:27.18]With brown leaves falling around
[02:28.57]And snow in your hair
[02:32.18]Now you're smiling out the window
[02:34.37]Of that crummy hotel
[02:35.77]Over Washington Square
[02:39.67]Our breath comes out white clouds
[02:41.84]Mingles and hangs in the air
[02:46.55]Speaking strictly for me
[02:48.63]We both could have died then and there
[03:01.10]Now you're telling me
[03:03.23]You're not nostalgic
[03:06.79]Then give me another word for it
[03:10.26]You who are so good with words
[03:13.86]And at keeping things vague
[03:18.36]Because I need some of that vagueness now
[03:20.55]It's all come back too clearly
[03:24.11]Yes I loved you dearly
[03:28.34]And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
[03:33.21]I've already paid
