Diamonds & Rust Lyrics

von Judas Priest

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 the 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 all around with snow in your hair
Now we're looking out the window of a crummy hotel over Washington Square
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there

Now you're telling me, your not nostalgic
Damn give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague

Cause I need some of that vaugeness now
It's all come back too clearly, Yes I love you dearley
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid

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
Diamonds, Diamonds and rust
