Well I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again |
| [00:32.556] |
But that's not unusual |
| [00:35.868] |
It's just that the moon is full and you happened to call |
| [00:44.258] |
And here I sit hand on the telephone |
| [00:50.906] |
Hearing a voice I'd known a couple of light years ago |
| [00:57.758] |
Heading straight for a fall |
| [01:05.550] |
As I remember your eyes |
| [01:08.348] |
were bluer than robin's eggs |
| [01:12.120] |
My poetry was lousy you said |
| [01:15.831] |
Where were you calling from |
| [01:19.347] |
A booth in the Midwest |
| [01:25.203] |
Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks |
| [01:30.551] |
You brought me something |
| [01:33.967] |
We both know what memories can bring |
| [01:37.731] |
They bring diamond and rust |
| [02:01.158] |
Now I see you standing |
| [02:02.225] |
with brown leaves falling all around |
| [02:04.267] |
Snow in your hair |
| [02:08.336] |
Now you're smiling out the window |
| [02:10.71] |
of that crummy hotel over Washington Square |
| [02:15.518] |
Our breath comes out white cloud mingles |
| [02:18.821] |
and hangs in the air |
| [02:22.784] |
Speaking strictly for me |
| [02:24.774] |
We both could've died then and there |
| [02:47.742] |
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic |
| [02:54.106] |
Then give me another word for it |
| [02:57.973] |
You who're so good with words |
| [03:01.585] |
and at keeping thing vague |
| [03:05.915] |
Cause I need some of that vagueness now |
| [03:08.461] |
It's all come back too clearly |
| [03:12.129] |
Yes I love you dearly |
| [03:15.485] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| [03:19.453] |
I've already paid |
