| [00:26.470] |
Well I'll be damned |
| [00:29.750] |
Here comes your ghost again |
| [00:33.430] |
But that's not unusual |
| [00:36.970] |
It's just that the moon is full |
| [00:40.500] |
And you happened to call |
| [00:45.350] |
And here I sit |
| [00:48.70] |
Hand on the telephone |
| [00:51.810] |
Hearing a voice I'd known |
| [00:55.340] |
A couple of light years ago |
| [00:58.870] |
Heading straight for a fall |
| [01:03.910] |
|
| [01:07.100] |
As I remember your eyes |
| [01:09.930] |
Were bluer than robin's eggs |
| [01:13.510] |
My poetry was lousy you said |
| [01:17.490] |
Where are you calling from? |
| [01:20.920] |
A booth in the midwest |
| [01:25.620] |
|
| [01:26.680] |
Ten years ago |
| [01:27.940] |
I bought you some cufflinks |
| [01:31.770] |
You brought me something |
| [01:35.410] |
We both know what memories can bring |
| [01:38.930] |
They bring diamonds and rust |
| [01:44.330] |
|
| [02:04.20] |
Well you burst on the scene |
| [02:06.590] |
Already a legend |
| [02:10.320] |
The unwashed phenomenon |
| [02:14.160] |
The original vagabond |
| [02:17.390] |
You strayed into my arms |
| [02:22.430] |
And there you stayed |
| [02:24.710] |
Temporarily lost at sea |
| [02:28.140] |
The Madonna was yours for free |
| [02:31.970] |
Yes the girl on the half-shell |
| [02:34.90] |
|
| [02:36.50] |
Could keep you unharmed |
| [02:41.290] |
|
| [02:43.920] |
Now I see you standing |
| [02:45.340] |
With brown leaves falling around |
| [02:47.250] |
And snow in your hair |
| [02:51.190] |
Now you're smiling out the window |
| [02:52.800] |
Of that crummy hotel |
| [02:54.310] |
Over Washington Square |
| [02:58.500] |
Our breath comes out white clouds |
| [03:00.920] |
Mingles and hangs in the air |
| [03:05.770] |
Speaking strictly for me |
| [03:07.890] |
We both could have died then and there |
| [03:14.340] |
|
| [03:31.620] |
Now you're telling me |
| [03:34.490] |
You're not nostalgic |
| [03:38.120] |
Then give me another word for it |
| [03:41.960] |
You who are so good with words |
| [03:45.280] |
And at keeping things vague |
| [03:50.180] |
Because I need some of that vagueness now |
| [03:52.300] |
It's all come back too clearly |
| [03:56.90] |
Yes I loved you dearly |
| [03:59.770] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| [04:02.640] |
|
| [04:03.780] |
I've already paid |
