1
Well I'll be damned
2
Here comes your ghost again
3
But that's not unusual
4
It's just that the moon is full
5
And you happened to call
6
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
7
Hearing a voice I'd known
8
A couple of light years ago
9
Heading straight for a fall
10
As I remember your eyes
11
Were bluer than robin's eggs
12
"My poetry was lousy", you said
13
Where are you calling from?
14
A booth in the Midwest
15
Thirty years ago
16
I bought you some cuff links
17
You brought me something
18
And we both know what memories can bring
19
They bring diamonds and rust
20
You burst on the scene
21
Already a legend
22
The unwashed phenomenon
23
The original vagabond
24
You strayed into my arms
25
And there you stayed
26
Temporarily lost at sea
27
The Madonna was yours for free
28
Yes the girl on the half-shell
29
Would keep you unharmed
30
Now I see you standing
31
With brown leaves falling around
32
An' snow in your hair
33
Now you're smiling out the window
34
Of that crummy hotel over Washington Square
35
Our breath comes out white clouds
36
Mingles and hangs in the air
37
Speaking strictly for me
38
We both could have died then and there
39
Now you're telling me
40
You're not nostalgic
41
Then give me another word for it
42
You, who are so good with words
43
And at keeping things vague
44
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
45
It's all come back too clearly
46
I once loved you dearly
47
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
48
Well, I'll take the diamonds
