作曲 : Joan Baez
 作词 : Baez
Well I'll be dammed
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 the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

As I remeber your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Forty years ago I bought you some cufflinks
And you brought me something
And we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwatched phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was your's for free
Yes the girl on the half shell
Would keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around
Snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel
Over Washingion Square
Our breath comes out white clouds mingles & 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 give me another word for it
You who're so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back to clearly
I want to love you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
