[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
