Diamonds And Rust: As Performed By Manganese
Lyrics
Written By Joan Baez
Ill be damned, here comes your ghost again
But thats not unusual
Its just that the moon is full
And
you decided to call
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice Id known
A couple of light years
ago
Headed straight for a fall
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
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around
and snow in your hair
Now were smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington square
Our breath comes in
white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me we both couldve died then and there
Now youre
telling me youre 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
Its all come back too clearly, yes, I love you dearly
And if youre
offering me diamonds and rust, Ive already paid
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
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds,
diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
