Diamonds And Rust

Emi

Well I'll be damned,

Here comes your ghost again

But that's not unusual

It's just that the moon is full

Emi

And you happened to call

And here I sit,

Hand on the telephone

Hearing the voice I'd known

A couple of light years ago

Headed 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

Hmi

Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around

Ami

And snow in your hair

Hmi

Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel

Ami

Over Washington square

Our breath comes out white clouds

Mingles and hangs in the air

Fmaj7

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 all come back too clearly

Yes, I loved you dearly

And if you're offering me diamonds and rust

I've already paid
