[音樂]DIAMONDS AND RUST


    DIAMONDS AND RUST
     (Words and Music by Joan Baez)
      
     
    Well 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
