Blackmore's Night
What's this song about?

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
7
My hand on the telephone
8
Hearing a voice I'd known
9
A couple of light years ago
10
Heading straight for a fall
11
As I remember your eyes
12
Were bluer than robin's eggs
13
My poetry was lousy you said
14
Where are you calling from?
15
A booth in the midwest
16
Ten years ago
17
I bought you some cufflinks
18
Oh and you brought me something
19
We both know what memories can bring
20
They bring diamonds and rust
21
Well you burst on the scene
22
Already a legend
23
The unwashed phenomenon
24
The original vagabond
25
You strayed into my arms
26
And there you stayed
27
Temporarily lost at sea
28
The Madonna was yours for free
29
Yes the girl on the half-shell
30
Would keep you unharmed
31
Now I see you standing
32
With leaves falling around
33
And snow in your hair
34
Now you're smiling out the window
35
Of that hotel
36
Over Washington Square
37
Our breath comes out white clouds
38
Mingles and hangs in the air
39
Speaking strictly for me
40
We both could have died then and there
41
Now you're telling me
42
You're not nostalgic
43
Then give me another word for it
44
You are always so good with words
45
And at keeping things vague
46
Because I need some of that vagueness now
47
It's all coming back too clearly
48
Oh I loved you dearly
49
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
50
I've already paid
51
Diamonds and rust
52
Diamonds and rust
53
