[Verse 1] 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 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 were 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 me We both couldve died then and there [Verse 2] 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 [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
diamond, rust, bring, memory, yes
