Diamonds And Rust

In the style of

Joan Baez

Lyrics

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
robins' eggs
my poetry was lousy
you said
where are you
calling from

a booth in the midwest
ten years ago
i bought you
some cuff links
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
could keep you
unharmed

now i see you
standing with
brown leaves
falling all 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 were so good
with words

and at keeping
things vague
'cause 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
