| [00:27.440] |
well i'll be damned |
| [00:30.240] |
here comes your ghost again |
| [00:33.330] |
but that's not unusual |
| [00:37.620] |
it's just that the moon is full |
| [00:41.010] |
and you happened to call |
| [00:46.000] |
and here i sit |
| [00:48.200] |
hand on the telephone |
| [00:51.790] |
hearing a voice i'd known |
| [00:55.880] |
a couple of light years ago |
| [00:59.370] |
heading straight for a fall |
| [01:07.750] |
as i remember your eyes |
| [01:10.840] |
were bluer than robin's eggs |
| [01:13.940] |
my poetry was lousy you said |
| [01:18.130] |
where are you calling from |
| [01:21.120] |
a booth in the midwest |
| [01:27.310] |
ten years ago |
| [01:29.000] |
i bought you some cufflinks |
| [01:32.100] |
you brought me something |
| [01:35.590] |
we both know what memories can bring |
| [01:39.590] |
they bring diamonds and rust |
| [02:04.920] |
well you burst on the scene |
| [02:07.520] |
already a legend |
| [02:10.410] |
the unwashed phenomenon |
| [02:14.000] |
the original vagabond |
| [02:17.600] |
you strayed into my arms |
| [02:22.280] |
and there you stayed |
| [02:25.080] |
temporarily lost at sea |
| [02:28.670] |
the madonna was yours for free |
| [02:32.360] |
yes the girl on the half-shell |
| [02:36.250] |
could keep you unharmed |
| [02:44.130] |
now i see you standing |
| [02:46.230] |
with brown leaves falling around |
| [02:48.020] |
and snow in your hair |
| [02:51.220] |
now you're smiling out the window |
| [02:53.210] |
of that crummy hotel |
| [02:54.610] |
over washington square |
| [02:58.800] |
our breath comes out white clouds |
| [03:01.290] |
mingles and hangs in the air |
| [03:05.980] |
speaking strictly for me |
| [03:07.990] |
we both could have died then and there |
| [03:30.530] |
now you're telling me |
| [03:32.120] |
you're not nostalgic |
| [03:36.210] |
then give me another word for it |
| [03:40.200] |
you who are so good with words |
| [03:43.000] |
and at keeping things vague |
| [03:47.790] |
because i need some of that vagueness now |
| [03:50.280] |
it's all come back too clearly |
| [03:53.370] |
yes i loved you dearly |
| [03:57.070] |
and if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| [04:01.060] |
i've already paid |
