[00:00.000]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
