| [00:26.610] |
Well I'll be damned |
| [00:28.640] |
Here comes your ghost again |
| [00:33.080] |
But that's not unusual |
| [00:36.530] |
It's just that the moon is full |
| [00:39.900] |
And you happened to call |
| [00:47.710] |
And here I sit |
| [00:50.100] |
Hand on the telephone |
| [00:53.930] |
Hearing a voice I'd known |
| [00:57.700] |
A couple of light years ago |
| [01:00.550] |
Heading straight for a fall |
| [01:08.780] |
As I remember your eyes |
| [01:11.130] |
Were bluer than robin's eggs |
| [01:14.610] |
My poetry was lousy you said |
| [01:18.590] |
Where are you calling from? |
| [01:21.840] |
A booth in the midwest |
| [01:29.780] |
Ten years ago |
| [01:32.250] |
I bought you some cufflinks |
| [01:35.810] |
You brought me something |
| [01:39.420] |
We both know what memories can bring |
| [01:44.570] |
They bring diamonds and rust |
| [01:59.430] |
Well you burst on the scene |
| [02:02.030] |
Already a legend |
| [02:05.480] |
The unwashed phenomenon |
| [02:09.020] |
The original vagabond |
| [02:12.340] |
You strayed into my arms |
| [02:16.970] |
And there you stayed |
| [02:19.230] |
Temporarily lost at sea |
| [02:22.910] |
The Madonna was yours for free |
| [02:26.280] |
Yes the girl on the half-shell |
| [02:30.030] |
Could keep you unharmed |
| [02:37.460] |
Now I see you standing |
| [02:39.270] |
With brown leaves falling around |
| [02:41.000] |
And snow in your hair |
| [02:44.270] |
Now you're smiling out the window |
| [02:46.120] |
Of that crummy hotel |
| [02:47.280] |
Over Washington Square |
| [02:51.640] |
Our breath comes out white clouds |
| [02:53.710] |
Mingles and hangs in the air |
| [02:58.610] |
Speaking strictly for me |
| [03:00.600] |
We both could have died then and there |
| [03:12.990] |
Now you're telling me |
| [03:15.460] |
You're not nostalgic |
| [03:18.700] |
Then give me another word for it |
| [03:22.320] |
You who are so good with words |
| [03:26.450] |
And at keeping things vague |
| [03:31.040] |
Because I need some of that vagueness now |
| [03:32.740] |
It's all come back too clearly |
| [03:36.120] |
I loved you dearly |
| [03:40.150] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| [03:45.210] |
I've already paid |
