Diamonds and Rust [Live in London]

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

But 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

[Bridge]

Now I see you standing all around

And snow in your hair

Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel

Over Washington Square

Our breath comes on white clouds

Mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for mе

We both could've died thеn and there

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

But 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

[Outro]

Diamonds, diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust
