Well,
[D#] [D#m]
I'll pretend here [B] comes your ghost again
[F#] But that's not unusual
It's just that the [C#] moon is full
And you happen [D#m] to fall
And here I sit, my [B] hand on the telephone
Hearing [F#] a voice I know
A [C#] couple of light years ago
Heading straight [D#m] for the floor
As I remember, your eyes were bluer [B] than robin's eggs
And my poetry was [F#]
lousy, said
Where are [C#] you coming from?
Blue film in the [D#m] air at rest
Ten years ago, I [B] bought you some cufflinks
And you [F#] brought me something
We both [C#] know what memories can bring
They bring [D#m] diamonds and bluffs
[B]
[F#] Well, [C#]
[D#m] you burst on the scene, already [B] a legend
The unwashed [F#] phenomenon
The original [C#] vagabond
Straight [D#m] into my arms
And there you stay, temporarily [B]
lost at sea
The [F#] Madonna was yours for free
Yes, the girl [C#] on the half-shell
Would keep [D#m] you on her
Now [A#m] I see you standing with leaves falling around and snow [G#m] in your hair
Now [A#m] you're smiling out the window of that hotel over Washington [G#m]
Square
While [B] bread comes out white clouds and mingles and hangs [F#] in the air
Speaking [E] strictly for me, we both could have died then [F#] and there
[A#]
Now you're [D#m] telling me you're [B] not nostalgic
Well then give me [F#] another word for it
You were always [C#] so good with words
And at keeping [D#m] things vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness
Now it's all coming [B] back to clearly
Oh, I loved [F#] you dearly
And if you're offering [C#] me diamonds and busts
I'm [D#m]
already paid
[B] I'm [F#]
[C#] [D#m]
[B] [F#]
[C#] [D#m] already paid
