[00:27:000] Well I'll be damned here comes your ghost again
[00:33:000] But that's not unusual
[00:37:000] It's just that the moon is full
[00:40:000] And you happened to call
[00:46:000] And here I sit hand on the telephone
[00:52:220] Hearing a voice I'd known
[00:56:000] A couple of light years ago
[00:59:000] Heading straight for a fall
[01:07:660] As I remember your eyes were bluer than robin's eggs
[01:14:000] My poetry was lousy you said
[01:18:000] Where are you calling from?
[01:21:760] A booth in the midwest
[01:27:000] Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks
[01:32:770] You brought me something
[01:36:000] We both know what memories can bring
[01:39:490] They bring diamonds and rust
[02:04:490] Well you burst on the scene already a legend
[02:11:000] The unwashed phenomenon
[02:14:660] The original vagabond
[02:19:000] You strayed into my arms
[02:23:000] And there you stayed temporarily lost at sea
[02:29:000] The Madonna was yours for free
[02:33:000] Yes the girl on the half-shell
[02:37:000] Would keep you unharmed
[02:45:000] Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around
[02:49:000] Snow in your hair
[02:52:000] Now you're smiling out the window
[02:54:000] Of that crummy hotel over Washington Square
[03:00:000] Our breath comes out white clouds
[03:02:000] Mingles and hangs in the air
[03:07:220] Speaking strictly for me
[03:09:220] We both could have died then and there
[03:33:000] Now you're telling me, you're not nostalgic
[03:40:000] Then give me another word for it
[03:44:000] You are so good with words
[03:47:000] And at keeping things vague
[03:52:000] Because I need some of that vagueness now
[03:54:000] It's all come back too clearly, yes I loved you dearly
[04:01:110] And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
[04:05:440] I've already paid
