diamonds and rust joan baez |
[00:26.00] |
Well, I'll be damned |
[00:29.00] |
Here comes your ghost again |
[00:32.40] |
But that's not unusual |
[00:36.00] |
It's just that the moon is full and you happened to call |
[00:44.00] |
And here I sit hand on the telephone |
[00:50.30] |
Hearing a voice I'd known a couple of light years ago |
[00:58.10] |
Heading straight for a fall |
[01:05.30] |
As I remember your eyes |
[01:08.00] |
Were bluer than robin's eggs |
[01:12.10] |
My poetry was lousy you said |
[01:15.00] |
Where are you calling from? |
[01:19.00] |
A booth in the midwest |
[01:25.00] |
Twenty years ago I bought you some cufflinks |
[01:30.00] |
You brought me something |
[01:34.30] |
We both know what memories can bring |
[01:37.30] |
They bring diamonds and rust |
[02:01.00] |
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around |
[02:05.00] |
And snow in your hair |
[02:08.20] |
Now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington Square |
[02:15.20] |
Our breath comes out white clouds |
[02:18.50] |
Mingles and hangs in the air |
[02:22.50] |
Speaking strictly for me |
[02:24.40] |
We both could have died then and there |
[02:47.30] |
Now you're telling me |
[02:50.50] |
You're not nostalgic |
[02:53.40] |
well give me another word for it |
[02:58.30] |
You who are so good with words |
[03:01.00] |
And at keeping things vague |
[03:05.00] |
Because I need some of that vagueness now |
[03:08.10] |
It's all come back too clearly |
[03:11.60] |
I was loved you dearly |
[03:14.40] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
[03:14.30] |
I've already paid |
