If You're offering me
Diamonds and Rust,
i've already paid...
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 a telephone
hearing a voice i'd known
a couple of light-years ago
heading straight for a fall...
We both know what memories can bring
they bring diamonds and rust.
well, you burst on the scene
already a legend
the unwashed phenomenon
the original vagabond
straight into my arms
and there you stayed,
temporarily lost at sea
the Madonna was yours for free
yes, the girl on the half shell
could keep you unharmed.
Now i see You standing with brown leaves
falling all around
and snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
of a crummy hotel
over washington square

how our breath comes out white clouds,
mingles and hangs in the air
speaking strictly for me,
we both could have died, then and there.

Now you're telling me
you're not nostalgic
then give me another word for it,
you who were so good with words
and at keeping things vague.

i need some of that vagueness  now
its all come back too clearly
yes, i loved you dearly
Diamonds and Rust/Joan Baez
