Diamonds and Rust - Joan Baez

[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
