[00:00.00]Diamonds and Rust - Judy Collins
[00:05.65]Written by:Joan Baez
[00:11.31]Well I'll be damned
[00:14.03]Here comes your ghost again
[00:17.13]But that's not unusual
[00:20.50]It just the moon is full
[00:23.70]And you happen to the call
[00:26.10]
[00:27.96]And here I sit
[00:30.15]
[00:30.70]Hand on the telephone
[00:33.40]
[00:34.17]Hearing a voice I'd known
[00:36.68]
[00:37.29]A couple of light years ago
[00:40.29]Heading straight for a fall
[00:43.95]
[00:48.36]I remember your eyes
[00:50.95]Were bluer than robin's eggs
[00:53.99]My poetry was lousy you said
[00:56.92]
[00:57.70]Where are you calling from
[01:01.06]A booth in the northwest
[01:04.14]
[01:06.08]Four years ago
[01:07.68]I brought you some cufflinks
[01:10.47]
[01:11.46]You brought me something
[01:13.72]
[01:14.62]We both know what memory can bring
[01:17.43]
[01:17.95]It brings diamonds and rust
[01:21.57]
[01:25.59]You burst on the scene
[01:28.22]Already a legend
[01:30.70]
[01:31.77]The original phenomenon
[01:34.70]The unwashed phenomenon
[01:37.61]
[01:38.14]You strayed into my arms
[01:41.58]
[01:42.18]And there you stayed
[01:44.88]Temporarily lost at sea
[01:48.23]The Madonna was yours for free
[01:51.59]The girl on the half-shell
[01:54.34]
[01:55.22]Would keep you from harm
[01:58.96]
[02:02.48]Now I see you standing
[02:04.39]With brown leaves falling
[02:05.86]And snow in the air
[02:09.46]Now you're standing out the window
[02:11.19]Of that crummy hotel
[02:12.62]Over Washington Square
[02:15.91]Our breath comes out white clouds
[02:18.30]Mingles and hangs in the air
[02:21.72]
[02:22.44]Speaking strictly for me
[02:24.33]We both could have died then and there
[02:35.19]
[02:39.59]Now you're telling me
[02:41.86]
[02:42.44]You're not nostalgic
[02:45.15]
[02:45.76]But give me another word for it
[02:48.36]
[02:49.30]You are so good with words
[02:52.29]And with keeping things vague
[02:55.42]
[02:56.67]Because I need some of
[02:58.25]That vagueness now
[02:59.59]It all come back too clearly
[03:02.45]Yes I once loved you dearly
[03:05.63]And if you free diamonds and rust
[03:08.81]
[03:09.48]Called on the phone
