Diamonds And Rust (Joan Baez Cover)

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.
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 all around with snow in your hair.
Now we're smiling out the window of the 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 all come back too clearly, yes, I love you dearly.
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.
