| [00:27.440] |
Well I'll be damned |
| [00:31.170] |
Here comes your ghost again |
| [00:33.080] |
But that's not unusual |
| [00:37.350] |
It's just that the moon is full |
| [00:40.570] |
And you happened to call |
| [00:45.960] |
And here I sit,hand on the telephone |
| [00:52.260] |
Hearing a voice I'd known |
| [00:55.180] |
A couple of light years ago |
| [00:59.280] |
Heading straight for a fall |
| [01:07.610] |
As I remember your eyes |
| [01:10.730] |
Were bluer than robin's eggs |
| [01:13.440] |
My poetry was lousy you said |
| [01:17.200] |
Where are you calling from? |
| [01:21.480] |
A booth in the midwest |
| [01:27.320] |
Ten years ago |
| [01:28.760] |
I bought you some cufflinks |
| [01:32.360] |
You brought me something |
| [01:35.690] |
We both know what memories can bring |
| [01:39.460] |
They bring diamonds and rust |
| [02:04.700] |
Well you burst on the scene |
| [02:07.100] |
Already a legend |
| [02:10.490] |
The unwashed phenomenon |
| [02:14.250] |
The original vagabond |
| [02:18.170] |
You strayed into my arms |
| [02:22.850] |
And there you stayed |
| [02:25.750] |
Temporarily lost at sea |
| [02:28.840] |
The Madonna was yours for free |
| [02:32.690] |
Yes the girl on the half-shell |
| [02:36.230] |
Could keep you unharmed |
| [02:44.720] |
Now I see you standing |
| [02:46.140] |
With brown leaves falling around |
| [02:47.630] |
And snow in your hair |
| [02:51.490] |
Now you're smiling out the window |
| [02:53.510] |
Of that crummy hotel |
| [02:54.970] |
Over Washington Square |
| [02:59.110] |
Our breath comes out white clouds, |
| [03:01.170] |
Mingles and hangs in the air |
| [03:06.510] |
Speaking strictly for me |
| [03:08.880] |
We both could have died then and there |
| [03:32.380] |
Now you're telling me |
| [03:35.460] |
You're not nostalgic |
| [03:38.860] |
Then give me another word for it |
| [03:42.550] |
You who are so good with words |
| [03:46.320] |
And at keeping things vague |
| [03:51.050] |
Because I need some of that vagueness now |
| [03:53.430] |
It's all come back too clearly |
| [03:56.900] |
Yes I loved you dearly |
| [04:00.530] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| [04:04.280] |
I've already paid |
