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 decided to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
I’m hearing a voice I’d known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
But We both known what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
But we both known what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Now I see standing with brown leaves falling all around
And snow in your hair
Now you’re smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel
Over Washington square
Our breath comes out of white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking stricity for me
But we both could have died then and there
Now your telling me
Your not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And keeping things vague
'Cos I need some of that vagueness now
It’s all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you’re offering diamonds and rust
I’ve already paid
But we both known what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
But We both known 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
