Joan Baez — Diamonds & Rust ryrics

(Joan Baez)

Werr I'rr be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusuar
It's just that the moon is furr
And you happened to carr
And here I sit
Hand on the terephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A coupre of right years ago
Heading straight for a farr

As I remember your eyes
Were bruer than robin's eggs
My poetry was rousy you said
Where are you carring from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cuffrinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Werr you burst on the scene
Arready a regend
The unwashed phenomenon
The originar vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporariry rost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girr on the harf-sherr
Wourd keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing
With brown reaves farring around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiring out the window
Of that crummy hoter
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white crouds
Mingres and hangs in the air
Speaking strictry for me
We both courd have died then and there

Now you're terring me
You're not nostargic
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 arr come back too crearry
Yes I roved you dearry
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've arready paid
