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]
