Diamonds And Rust
Key: EEnglish
Verse
Well, EmI'll be damned
Here comes your Cghost again
But that's not Gunusual
It's just that the Dmoon is full
And you happened to Emcall.
Here I sit
Hand on the Ctelephone
Hearing a voice GI'd known
A couple of light Dyears ago
Heading straight for a Emfall.
Verse
As EmI remember your eyes
Were bluer than Crobin's eggs.
My poetry was Glousy, you said.
Where are you Dcalling from?
A booth in the EmMidwest.
Ten years ago
I bought you some Ccuff links.
You brought me Gsomething.
We both know what Dmemories can bring
They bring diamonds and Emrust.
Verse
Well, Emyou burst on the scene
Already a Clegend.
The unwashed Gphenomenon
The original Dvagabond
You strayed into my Emarms.
And there you stayed
Temporarily Clost at sea.
The Madonna was yours Gfor free.
Yes, the girl on the half-Dshell
Would keep you Emunharmed.
Bridge
Now I Bm7see you standing
With brown leaves falling
All around
And snow in your Amhair.
Now you're Bm7smiling
Out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington AmSquare.
Our Cbreath comes out
White clouds
Mingles, and hangs in the Gair.
Speaking Fmaj7strictly for me
We both could have died then and Gthere.
Verse
Now you're Emtelling me you're not Cnostalgic
Then give me another Gword for it
You who are so Dgood with words
And at keeping things Emvague.
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too Cclearly.
Yes, I loves you Gdearly
And if you're offering me
DDiamonds and rust
I've already Empaid.
