But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you decided to call
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
Well 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 with brown leaves all around with snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of a 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
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid
Well 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
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 And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall Well 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 with brown leaves all around with snow in your hair Now we're smiling out the window of a 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 And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid Well 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 Explain Request ×
