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
