[00:11.80]Well I'll be damned
[00:13.78]Here comes your ghost again
[00:17.70]But that's not unusual
[00:20.31]It's just that the moon is full
[00:23.58]And you happend to call
[00:28.11]And here I sit
[00:30.66]Hand on the telephone
[00:34.60]Hearing a voice
[00:35.71]I'd known a couple of light years ago
[00:40.21]Heading straight for a fall
[00:48.25]As I remember your eyes
[00:50.87]Were bluer than robin's eggs
[00:53.91]My poetry was lousy, you said
[00:57.64]"Where are you calling from?"
[01:01.90]"A booth in the midwest"
[01:05.90]Forty years ago
[01:07.68]I bought you some cufflinks
[01:11.31]You brought me something
[01:14.59]We both know what memory can bring
[01:17.99]They bring diamonds and rust
[01:25.54]Well, you burst on the scene
[01:28.26]Already a legend
[01:31.58]The unwashed phenomenon
[01:34.62]The original vagabond
[01:37.93]You strayed into my arms
[01:42.80]And there you stayed
[01:44.75]Temporarily lost at sea
[01:48.20]The Madonna was yours for free
[01:51.55]Yes, the girl on the half-shell
[01:55.28]Could keep you unharm
[02:02.50]Now I see you standing
[02:04.38]With brown leaves falling all around
[02:06.22]And snow in the air
[02:09.19]Now you're smiling out the window
[02:11.19]Of that crummy hotel
[02:12.65]Over Washington Square
[02:15.70]Our breath comes out white clouds
[02:18.61]Mingles and hangs in the air
[02:22.43]Speaking strictly for me
[02:24.29]We both could have died then and there
[02:39.49]Now you're telling me
[02:42.39]You're not nostalgic
[02:45.76]Then give me another word for it
[02:49.31]You who're so good with words
[02:52.43]And at keeping things vague
[02:56.60]Cause I need some of that vagueness now
[02:59.49]It's all come back too clearly
[03:02.55]Yes I once loved you dearly
[03:05.54]And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
[03:09.34]I've already paid
