Well, I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But it's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you already left

Well, what can I say
You were the best of me
But now you're lost at sea
You left me clutching at smoke

Here I stand
Reaching for your soul again
In the middle of the snow
How can it be?
I still see the autumn leaves
Falling in your hair

Here I sit
All alone on the couch
Ear pressed against the telephone
Wishing to hear a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
From a phone booth in the midwest

Your room lies untouched
Just the way you left it
A spirit of the past
It would be like old times again
But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Now I see you standing outside
With your eyes bluer than robin's eggs
My words were cliche you'd say
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague

Well, I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes, I loved you dearly

So now if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
