Well ,I'll be damned .Here comes your ghost again |
| [00:34.66] |
But that's not unusual |
| [00:36.23] |
It's just that the moon is full and you happened to call |
| [00:46.39] |
And here I sit,hand on the telephone |
| [00:53.01] |
Hearing a voice I'd known,a couple of light years ago |
| [01:00.12] |
Heading straight for a fall |
| [01:08.44] |
As I remember your eyes |
| [01:11.21] |
were bluer than robin's eggs |
| [01:14.75] |
My poetry was lousy,you said |
| [01:18.93] |
"Where were you calling from?" |
| [01:22.57] |
"A booth in the Midwest" |
| [01:27.92] |
Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks |
| [01:31.30] |
You brought me something |
| [01:35.09] |
We both know what memories can bring |
| [01:40.90] |
They bring diamond and rust |
| [02:06.23] |
Well,you burst on the scene were already a legend |
| [02:11.42] |
The unwatched phenomenon, |
| [02:22.28] |
the original vagabond you strayed into my arms |
| [02:24.70] |
And there you stayed ,temporarily lost at sea |
| [02:30.20] |
The Madonna was yours for free |
| [02:33.78] |
Yes,the girl on the half shell |
| [02:38.17] |
Could keep you unharmed |
| [02:45.84] |
Now I see you standing |
| [02:47.30] |
with brown leaves falling all around |
| [02:50.69] |
Snow in your hair |
| [02:53.21] |
Now you're smiling out the window |
| [02:57.95] |
of that crummy hotel over Washington Square |
| [03:00.66] |
Our breath comes out white cloud mingles |
| [03:03.59] |
and hangs in the air |
| [03:07.98] |
Speaking strictly for me |
| [03:10.20] |
We both could've died then and there |
| [03:33.96] |
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic |
| [03:40.70] |
Then give me another word for it |
| [03:44.74] |
You who're so good with words |
| [03:49.10] |
and at keeping thing vague |
| [03:52.68] |
Cause I need some of that vagueness now |
| [03:55.87] |
It's all come back too clearly |
| [03:58.75] |
Yes ,I love you dearly |
| [04:02.23] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| [04:06.32] |
I've already paid |
