I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual, it's just that the moon is full
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice I'd known, a couple of light-years ago
Heading straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around
And snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of a crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me, you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's call come back too dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust |
