Diamonds And Rust
Ton : EEnglish
Well, IEm'll be damned
Here comes your ghCost again
But that's not unGusual
It's just that the mDoon is full
And you happened to cEmall.
Here I sit
Hand on the teClephone
Hearing a voice GI'd known
A couple of light yDears ago
Heading straight for a fEmall.
As EmI remember your eyes
Were bluer than Crobin's eggs.
My poetry was lGousy, you said.
Where are you Dcalling from ?
A booth in the MidwEmest.
Ten years ago
I bought you some cCuff links.
You brought me sGomething.
We both know what memorDies can bring
They bring diamonds and rEmust.
Well, Emyou burst on the scene
Already a Clegend.
The unwashed pheGnomenon
The original Dvagabond
You strayed into my aEmrms.
And there you stayed
Temporarily lCost at sea.
The Madonna was yours fGor free.
Yes, the girl on the half-shDell
Would keep you unhEmarmed.
Now I Bm7see you standing
With brown leaves falling
All around
And snow in your hAmair.
Now you're Bm7smiling
Out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington SAmquare.
Our brCeath comes out
White clouds
Mingles, and hangs in the aGir.
Speaking sFmaj7trictly for me
We both could have died then and thGere.
Now you're Emtelling me you're not nosCtalgic
Then give me another wGord for it
You who are so gDood with words
And at keeping things vEmague.
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too cClearly.
Yes, I loves you dearGly
And if you're offering me
DiamDonds and rust
I've already Empaid.
