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

Hearing the voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall


Well we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust


Now I see you standing all around with snow in your hair
Now we're looking out the window of a crummy hotel over Washington Square
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air

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 love you dearly

And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid

Diamonds, Diamonds and rust

Diamonds, Diamonds and rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and rust
