Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds And Rust
by
Joan Baez
Album
: Greatest Hits
Well I'll be
damned
Here comes your ghost
again
But that's not
unusual
It's just that the moon is
full
And you happened to
call
And here I
sit
Hand on the
telephone
Hearing a voice I'd
known
A couple of light years
ago
Heading straight for a
fall
As I remember your
eyes
Were bluer than robin's
eggs
My poetry was lousy you
said
Where are you calling
from?
A booth in the
midwest
Ten years
ago
I bought you some
cufflinks
You brought me
something
We both know what
memories can bring
They bring
diamonds and rust
Well you
burst on the scene
Already a
legend
The unwashed
phenomenon
The original
vagabond
You strayed into my
arms
And there you
stayed
Temporarily lost at
sea
The Madonna was yours for
free
Yes the girl on the
half-shell
Would keep you
unharmed
Now I see you
standing
With brown leaves falling
around
And snow in your
hair
Now you're smiling out the
window
Of that crummy
hotel
Over Washington
Square
Our breath comes out white
clouds
Mingles and hangs in the
air
Speaking strictly for
me
We both could have died then
and there
Now you're telling
me
You're not
nostalgic
Then give me another
word for it
You who are so good
with words
And at keeping things
vague
Because I need some of that
vagueness now
It's all come back
too clearly
Yes I loved you
dearly
And if you're offering me
diamonds and rust
I've already
paid
