Fam
Well I'll be damned
Reb
Here comes your ghost again
Lab
But that's not unusual
Mib
It's just that the moon is full
Fam
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Reb
Hand on the telephone
Lab
Hearing a voice I'd known
Mib
A couple of light years ago
Fam
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Reb
Were bluer than robin's eggs
Lab
My poetry was lousy you said
Mib
Where are you calling from?
Fam
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
Reb
I bought you some cufflinks
Lab
You brought me something
Mib
We both know what memories can bring
Fam
They bring diamonds and rust
Do7 Fam
Fam
Well you burst on the scene
Reb
Already a legend
Lab
The unwashed phenomenon
Mib
The original vagabond
Fam
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Reb
Temporarily lost at sea
Lab
The Madonna was yours for free
Mib
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Fam
Would keep you unharmed
Dom
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
Sibm
And snow in your hair
Dom
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Sibm
Over Washington Square
Reb
Our breath comes out white clouds
Lab
Mingles and hangs in the air
Solb7+
Speaking strictly for me
Lab Do7
We both could have died then and there
Fam Do7 Fam Do7 Fam
Fam
Now you're telling me
Reb
You're not nostalgic
Lab
Then give me another word for it
Mib
You who are so good with words
Fam
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
Reb
It's all come back too clearly
Lab
Yes I loved you dearly
Mib
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
Fam
I've already paid...
