here comes your ghost again

but that's not unusual

headed straight for a fall

cause i remember your eyes

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 Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hairNow we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington squareand then comes that white clouds, mingles and hangs in the airSpeaking strictly for mewe both could've died then and there

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgicthen

give me another word for ityou were so good with words

and at keeping things paidcause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too clearly

yes, I love you dearly

and if you're offering me diamonds and rust

I've already
