i'll be damned, here comes your ghost again.
but thats not unusual, its just that the moon is full.
and you decided to call.
and here i sit, hand on the telephone.
hearing a voice unknown, from a couple of light years ago.
headed 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 diamnonds and rust.
now i see you standing all around with snow in your hair.
now we're smiling out the window of a crumby hotel, over washington square. our breath comes out white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air.
speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there.
now your telling me your not nostalgic.
then give me another word for it, you were so good with words.
and at keeping things vague.
well i need someone that begots now, its all come back to clearly.
yes i love you dearly, and if your offering me diamonds and rust....i've already paid.
diamonds, diamonds and rust.
diamonds, diamonds and rust.
diamonds, diamonds and rust.....
i don't want no more diamonds, diamonds and rust.
