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 a 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 you're standing all around with snow in your hair Now we're looking out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strickly for me we both could have died then and there... Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic Then I'll give you another word for it You were so good with words and at keeping things vague Because I need some of that vagueness now it's all come back too clearly Oh I loved you dearly and if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid 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 diamonds diamonds and rust diamonds diamonds and rust diamonds diamonds and rust I don't want no more diamonds diamonds and rust
