Diamonds and Rust (Joan Baez cover)

Diamonds and Rust I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual, it's just that the moon is full 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 But 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 with brown leaves all around And snow in your hair Now we're smiling 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 call come back too dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid But 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 Diamonds, diamonds and rust
