[00:12.63]Diamonds  and  rust  Joan  Baez
[00:27.93]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
