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 the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known a couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where were you calling from A booth in the Midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamond and rust 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 Washington Square Our breath comes out white cloud 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 who're so good with words and at keeping thing vague Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes I love you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid
