Diamonds And Rust

sunnybug.1816.

Well I'll beamned

Here.es your ghost again

But that's not unusual

It's just that theoon is full

And you happened to call

And here I sit

Handn the telephone

Hearing a voice I'd known

A couplef light years ago

Heading straight for a fall

As I remember youryes

Were bluer than robin'sggs

My poetry was lousy you said

Where are you calling from?

A booth in theidwest

Ten years ago

I bought you some cufflinks

You broughte something

We both know whatemories can bring

They bringiamonds and rust

Well you burstn the scene

Already a legend

The unwashed phenomenon

Theriginal vagabond

You strayed intoy arms

And there you stayed

Temporarily lost at sea

Theadonna was yours for free

Could keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing

With brown leaves falling around

And snow in your hair

Now you're smilingut the window

Of that crummy hotel

Over Washington Square

Our breath.esut white clouds

Mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly fore

We both could haveied then and there

Now you're tellinge

You're not nostalgic

Then givee another word for it

You who are so good with words

And at keeping things vague

Because I need somef that vagueness now

It's all.e back too clearly

Yes I loved youearly

And if you'refferingeiamonds and rust

I've already paid
