Diamonds and Rust Lyrics Artist(Band):Joan Baez
I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes the girl on the half-shell Would keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague Because I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid © 1975 Chandos Music (ASCAP) If you find some error in Diamonds and Rust Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Diamonds and Rust diamonds too rust, dont they? | Reviewer: Babitha Marina Justin | 1/10/2008 One of the songs which is really close to my heart. its sheer poetry here and the ease with which pain is changed to sarcasm is just like twirling a moustache :-). once my friend remarked that its a song for sentimental fools. rather be a sentimental fool than and be a detached one. LOL Another of the continuing repartee | Reviewer: Twisted Fiction Writer | 11/16/2007 Read the lyrics for "Simple Twist of Fate" and learn that Joan answers that here, or at least that is part of the song - "that crummy hotel...". Joan and Bob drifted apart, yet in a way never parted company. Nive song ever | Reviewer: hocaili | 5/13/2007 Something come to me when i heard this song.Her voice is beautiful ever Love Song | Reviewer: Michael | 8/27/2005 This is a very good love song. For those young to remember (Joan who?) it is autobiographical and the man she is singing it to is Bob Dylan.
