Diamonds and Rust (钻石与铁锈) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]
Written by:Joan Baez[00:00:00]
I'll be damned[00:00:28]
Here comes your ghost again[00:00:31]
But that's not unusual[00:00:34]
It's just that the moon is full[00:00:38]
And you happened to call[00:00:41]
And here I sit[00:00:46]
Hand on the telephone[00:00:48]
Hearing a voice I'd known[00:00:53]
A couple of light years ago[00:00:56]
Heading straight for a fall[00:01:00]
As I remember your eyes[00:01:08]
Were bluer than robin's eggs[00:01:11]
My poetry was lousy you said[00:01:14]
Where are you calling from [00:01:18]
A booth in the midwest[00:01:22]
Ten years ago[00:01:28]
I bought you some cufflinks[00:01:30]
You brought me something[00:01:33]
We both know what memories can bring[00:01:34]
They bring diamonds and rust[00:01:40]
Well you burst on the scene[00:02:06]
Already a legend[00:02:08]
The unwashed phenomenon[00:02:12]
The original vagabond[00:02:15]
You strayed into my arms[00:02:19]
And there you stayed[00:02:23]
Temporarily lost at sea[00:02:26]
The Madonna was yours for free[00:02:30]
Yes the girl on the half-shell[00:02:34]
Would keep you unharmed[00:02:38]
Now I see you standing[00:02:42]
With brown leaves falling around[00:02:47]
And snow in your hair[00:02:49]
Now you're smiling out the window[00:02:53]
Of that crummy hotel[00:02:55]
Over Washington Square[00:02:56]
Our breath comes out white clouds[00:03:00]
Mingles and hangs in the air[00:03:03]
Speaking strictly for me[00:03:07]
We both could have died then and there[00:03:10]
Now you're telling me[00:03:19]
You're not nostalgic[00:03:36]
Then give me another word for it[00:03:40]
You who are so good with words[00:03:44]
And at keeping things vague[00:03:48]
Because I need some of that vagueness now[00:03:52]
It's all come back too clearly[00:03:55]
Yes I loved you dearly[00:03:58]
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust[00:04:02]
I've already paid[00:04:11]
