Diamonds and Rust - Joan Baez |
[00:01.820] |
|
[00:28.134] |
Well I'll be damned |
[00:30.986] |
Here comes your ghost again |
[00:35.152] |
But that's not unusual |
[00:38.103] |
It's just that the moon is full |
[00:41.653] |
and you happened to call |
[00:46.603] |
And here I sit hand on the telephone |
[00:53.261] |
Hearing a voice I'd known a couple of light years ago |
[01:00.522] |
Heading straight for a fall |
[01:08.724] |
As I remember your eyes |
[01:11.379] |
Were bluer than robin's eggs |
[01:14.963] |
My poetry was lousy you said |
[01:18.963] |
Where are you calling from |
[01:22.415] |
A booth in the midwest |
[01:28.066] |
Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks |
[01:33.673] |
You brought me something |
[01:37.380] |
We both know what memories can bring |
[01:40.830] |
They bring diamonds and rust |
[01:49.883] |
|
[02:06.040] |
Well you burst on the scene already a legend |
[02:11.944] |
The unwashed phenomenon |
[02:15.695] |
The original vagabond |
[02:19.500] |
You strayed into my arms |
[02:23.704] |
And there you stayed temporarily lost at sea |
[02:30.305] |
The Madonna was yours for free |
[02:34.155] |
Yes the girl on the half-shell |
[02:38.061] |
Could keep you unharmed |
[02:45.963] |
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around |
[02:49.515] |
And snow in your hair |
[02:53.218] |
Now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over |
[02:56.620] |
Washington Square |
[03:00.521] |
Our breath comes out white clouds |
[03:03.073] |
Mingles and hangs in the air |
[03:08.076] |
Speaking strictly for me |
[03:09.730] |
We both could have died then and there |
[03:22.079] |
|
[03:34.032] |
Now you're telling me |
[03:37.266] |
You're not nostalgic |
[03:41.068] |
Then give me another word for it |
[03:44.819] |
You who are so good with words |
[03:48.175] |
And at keeping things vague |
[03:52.775] |
Because I need some of that vagueness now |
[03:55.179] |
It's all come back too clearly |
[03:58.934] |
Yes I loved you dearly |
[04:02.434] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
[04:06.537] |
I've already paid |
