| [00:26.00] |
I'll be damned |
| [00:29.10] |
Here comes your ghost again |
| [00:32.00] |
But that's not unusual |
| [00:35.30] |
It's just that the moon is full |
| [00:39.00] |
And you happened to call |
| [00:43.50] |
And here I sit |
| [00:46.30] |
Hand on the telephone |
| [00:50.00] |
Hearing a voice I'd known |
| [00:54.00] |
A couple of light years ago |
| [00:57.00] |
Heading straight for a fall |
| [01:05.00] |
As I remember your eyes |
| [01:08.30] |
Were bluer than robin's eggs |
| [01:11.30] |
My poetry was lousy you said |
| [01:15.30] |
Where are you calling from “ |
| [01:18.30] |
A booth in the midwest “ |
| [01:24.00] |
Ten years ago |
| [01:25.10] |
I bought you some cufflinks |
| [01:29.00] |
You brought me something |
| [01:33.30] |
We both know what memories can bring |
| [01:36.30] |
They bring diamonds and rust |
| [02:00.30] |
Well you burst on the scene |
| [02:02.30] |
Already a legend |
| [02:06.30] |
The unwashed phenomenon |
| [02:10.00] |
The original vagabond |
| [02:13.30] |
You strayed into my arms |
| [02:18.30] |
And there you stayed |
| [02:21.00] |
Temporarily lost at sea |
| [02:24.30] |
The Madonna was yours for free |
| [02:28.00] |
Yes the girl on the half-shell |
| [02:32.00] |
Could keep you unharmed |
| [02:39.00] |
Now I see you standing |
| [02:40.00] |
With brown leaves falling around |
| [02:42.00] |
And snow in your hair |
| [02:46.30] |
Now you're smiling out the window |
| [02:48.00] |
Of that crummy hotel |
| [02:49.00] |
Over Washington Square |
| [02:51.00] |
Our breath comes out white clouds |
| [02:53.30] |
Mingles and hangs in the air |
| [03:00.30] |
Speaking strictly for me |
| [03:03.00] |
We both could have died then and there |
| [03:25.30] |
|
| [03:28.30] |
You're not nostalgic |
| [03:31.30] |
Then give me another word for it |
| [03:35.30] |
You who are so good with words |
| [03:39.00] |
And at keeping things vague |
| [03:43.30] |
Because I need some of that vagueness now |
| [03:46.30] |
It's all come back too clearly |
| [03:49.30] |
Yes I loved you dearly |
| [03:53.00] |
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust |
| [03:57.00] |
I've already paid |
