[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
