Diamonds and rustjudas priest (original lyrics by joan baez)i'll be damned, here comes your ghost againbut that's not unusualit's just that the moon is fulland you decided to comeand here i sit, hand on the telephonehearing the voice i'd known a couple of light years agoheaded straight for a fallbut we both know what memories can bringthey bring diamonds and rustyes we both know what memories can bringthey bring diamonds and rustnow 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 therenow you're telling me you're not nostalgicthen give me another word for ityou were so good with wordsand at keeping things paidcause i need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too clearlyyes, i love you dearlyand if you're offering me diamonds and rusti've already paidbut we both know what memories can bringthey bring diamonds and rustyes we both know what memories can bringthey bring diamonds and rustdiamonds, diamonds and rustdiamonds, diamonds and rustdiamonds, diamonds and rustdiamonds, diamonds and rust
