Diamonds and Rust Songtext
von Halford

I′ll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It′s just that the moon is full
And you decided 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

Well, 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 around
With snow in your hair
Now we're looking out the window of the May Hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out in white clouds
Bangles and hands in the air
Speaking strictly to me
We both could die but not 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 safe
Well, I need some of that greatness now
It's all coming back too clearly
I love you dearly
But if we′re all framed in diamonds and rust
I'll always be

Well, 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

Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
I don′t want no more diamonds
Diamonds and rust
