DIAMONDS & RUST (Joan Baez)

Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call

And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of years ago
Heading straight for a fall

I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from ?
A booth in the midwest

Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We know memories can bring
Diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms

And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
Madonna was yours for free
The girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed

Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
So give me another word for it
You are so good with words
For keeping things vague

Because I need some now
It's all come back clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
Offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
