Lyrics

[00:26.00] I'll be damned
[00:29.10] Here comes your ghost again
[00:32.00] But that's not unusual
[00:35.30] It's just that the moon is full
[00:39.00] And you happened to call
[00:43.50] And here I sit
[00:46.30] Hand on the telephone
[00:50.00] Hearing a voice I'd known
[00:54.00] A couple of light years ago
[00:57.00] Heading straight for a fall
[01:05.00] As I remember your eyes
[01:08.30] Were bluer than robin's eggs
[01:11.30] My poetry was lousy you said
[01:15.30] Where are you calling from “
[01:18.30] A booth in the midwest “
[01:24.00] Ten years ago
[01:25.10] I bought you some cufflinks
[01:29.00] You brought me something
[01:33.30] We both know what memories can bring
[01:36.30] They bring diamonds and rust
[02:00.30] Well you burst on the scene
[02:02.30] Already a legend
[02:06.30] The unwashed phenomenon
[02:10.00] The original vagabond
[02:13.30] You strayed into my arms
[02:18.30] And there you stayed
[02:21.00] Temporarily lost at sea
[02:24.30] The Madonna was yours for free
[02:28.00] Yes the girl on the half-shell
[02:32.00] Could keep you unharmed
[02:39.00] Now I see you standing
[02:40.00] With brown leaves falling around
[02:42.00] And snow in your hair
[02:46.30] Now you're smiling out the window
[02:48.00] Of that crummy hotel
[02:49.00] Over Washington Square
[02:51.00] Our breath comes out white clouds
[02:53.30] Mingles and hangs in the air
[03:00.30] Speaking strictly for me
[03:03.00] We both could have died then and there
[03:25.30]
[03:28.30] You're not nostalgic
[03:31.30] Then give me another word for it
[03:35.30] You who are so good with words
[03:39.00] And at keeping things vague
[03:43.30] Because I need some of that vagueness now
[03:46.30] It's all come back too clearly
[03:49.30] Yes I loved you dearly
[03:53.00] And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
[03:57.00] I've already paid
