| [01:08.51] |
Well I'll be damned |
| [01:11.11] |
Here comes your ghost again |
| [01:14.21] |
But that's not unusual |
| [01:17.90] |
It's just that the moon is full |
| [01:20.86] |
And you happened to call |
| [01:25.25] |
And here I sit, hand on the telephone |
| [01:31.31] |
Hearing a voice I'd known |
| [01:34.46] |
A couple of light years ago |
| [01:37.97] |
Heading straight for a fall |
| [01:45.45] |
|
| [01:45.47] |
As I remember your eyes |
| [01:47.07] |
Were bluer than robin's eggs |
| [01:51.35] |
My poetry was lousy you said |
| [01:54.84] |
Where are you calling from |
| [01:57.65] |
A booth in the midwest |
| [02:09.09] |
Ten years ago |
| [02:11.01] |
I bought you some cufflinks |
| [02:14.40] |
You brought me something |
| [02:17.57] |
We both know |
| [02:18.47] |
what memories can bring |
| [02:20.58] |
They bring diamonds and rust |
| [02:43.29] |
|
| [02:43.30] |
Well you burst on the scene |
| [02:45.40] |
Already a legend |
| [02:48.86] |
The unwashed phenomenon |
| [02:51.85] |
The original vagabond |
| [02:55.15] |
You strayed into my arms |
| [02:59.59] |
And there you stayed |
| [03:01.71] |
Temporarily lost at sea |
| [03:05.05] |
The Madonna was yours for free |
| [03:08.25] |
Yes the girl on the half-shell |
| [03:11.87] |
Would keep you unharmed |
| [03:18.68] |
|
| [03:18.69] |
Now I see you standing |
| [03:20.82] |
With brown leaves falling around |
| [03:21.88] |
And snow in your hair |
| [03:25.67] |
Now you're smiling out the window |
| [03:26.89] |
Of that crummy hotel |
| [03:27.90] |
Over Washington Square |
| [03:32.02] |
Our breath comes out white clouds |
| [03:34.00] |
Mingles and hangs in the air |
| [03:38.23] |
Speaking strictly for me |
| [03:40.43] |
We both could have died then and there |
| [04:02.01] |
|
| [04:02.02] |
Now you're telling me |
| [04:04.42] |
You're not nostalgic |
| [04:07.37] |
Then give me another word for it |
| [04:11.06] |
You who are so good with words |
| [04:14.14] |
And at keeping things vague |
| [04:18.18] |
Because I need some of that vagueness now |
| [04:20.32] |
It's all come back too clearly |
| [04:23.75] |
Yes I loved you dearly |
| [04:27.04] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| [04:30.48] |
I've already paid |
| [04:38.99] |
|
| [04:38.99] |
|
