Diamonds and Rust

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, your not nostalgic.
Damn give me another word for it.
You were so good with words.
And at keeping things vague.

Cause I need some of that vaugeness now
It's all come back too clearly, yes I love you dearley!
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust,
I've already paid.

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

Diamonds, Diamonds and rust [4x]

Diamonds And Rust

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
Headed straight for a fall

But 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 with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of the 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
