Lyrics:

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



Well 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 all around with snow in your hair

Now we're looking out the window of a crummy hotel over Washington Square

Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there



Now you're telling me, your not nostalgic

Damn give me another word for it

You were so good with words

And at keeping things vague



Cause I need some of that vaugeness now

It's all come back too clearly, Yes I love you dearley

And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid



Well 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
