Joan Baez - Diamonds & Rust Lyrics
Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and 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 vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

Joan Baez Diamonds & Rust Comments
You know you've been sold down the river of love when you wright a song as well as this.
💋 joan baez peace and love 🇫🇷
ALL I Can SAY IS,,,,: The VOICE of AN ANGEL,!!!
Gramma this ru ok (
Even is failed love....joan is great...
Your ghost again..
It makes me cry...
Your gosh again
What a beautiful song.........
Very very beautiful. But Judas Priest version is perfect too!
Always so amazing
Haunting, life .
As I listen to this beautiful piece of music I am thinking can a love song get any better than this ..?
I really do not think it can IMHO.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED WOMAN JOAN IS.
I first heard the version covered by Judas Priest.
Really? JP?
заставлю брат сделает кавер
и еще раз нет слов
это невозможно .чувства переполняют
How could anyone not like this. WTF
Lyrics can come in handy, but with Joan, it's not needed. Always said if I had to learn English I wanted my teacher to be her.
Gelip beş dakika takılayım dedim bu kaçıncı beş dakika olacak
Genius!
What a beautiful song ! Reminds me a bit of Joni Michell’s “A Case of You”.
Absolutely fucking fantastic
version 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
Headed straight for a fall
But 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 with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of the 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 you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly, yes, I love you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid
But 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
Amazing
Such a bittersweet yet beautiful song .....
Even hearing the flamanco-like guitar intro elicits an instant heartache . . . . even after all these years. So many memories of young love and broken dreams, of learning life's lessons the hard way. Also some of the best prose ever . . . . . using words to paint pictures you can instantly see in your mind's eye . . . . . words which are capable of eliciting deep emotion and which draw the listener into the private moments in another's life and create a connection. Beautiful on so may levels.
sexy arseee couple alert
...back again ....and a gain!
Very beautiful, distinctive voice - like the rustle of wind through the trees in the woods.
It's 4:00 AM and a full moon....memories bring diamonds & rust
I think I prefer S.O.D.’s version.
Rich, commie but great singer.
she was madly in love with Dylan. She wasn't a Jew so that was that. Half Irish and Hispanic.
That had nothing to do with it. He just didn't love her. You can't force love. He became interested in Christianity anyway to the horror of the anti-Christian hippies.
Global warming hoax as the grand solar minimum intensifies
Dylanofile
The way this song fits in this setting and in a rocked up cover version by Judas Priest is amazing. I really like both.
Почему-то нет отзывов на русском языке- восполню: буду краток, я в восторге!
Beautiful music, great lyrics, bravo Joan Baez and thank you!
Fabulous lyrics

Joan Baez gives the most empty spots fullness, most dead feelings life, she gives desolated deserts water. She’s amazing
Music was serious business till end of 80's
Most excellent, luv'er dearly.
חקי חיון , שיר חמוד.
OYNA KAZAN YARIŞMASINDA ÇIKAN SORUDAN SONRA BURADA OLANLAR BEĞENSİN DE SAYIMIZI BİLELİM :) <3
Basically, Freewheeling Bob "the Voice" Zimmerman pumped 'n dumped her because she was a freeloading bossy latina bitch with no green card. Nobody ever knew this until now.
Обожаю Джоан, да и Боба тоже...
Joan Baez was not writing poetry; she was writing love. By this, she will be immortalized.
GOOD FOR YOU !! EXACTLLY !!!! you got IT!!!!
64 and still listening to her and this song.... yes, it reminds me of a babys daddy
Hauntingly beautiful....it makes me feel love, being loved, endurance, tolerance, betrayal, helpless... my all time favourite. How could Dylan criticise Baez’s poetry was lousy? Is it because one genius is blinded by another genius’s work especially they were so much in love?
Late eighties hitting the highway with a Saudi friend heading for Jeddah. He says to me ' I found an amazing cassette in the shop,. You know this?''
And he played this.
All great music is timeless.
And they said Baez couldn’t write songs ?
Mercedes Sosa y Joan Báez, las dos voces femeninas más brillantes y talentosas del pueblo Latinoamericano...
Thank you. Great song, and magnificent photos.
Holy FUCKING Shit! I think on this one Joan crushed Bob.
utterly timeless, a perfect example of songs with a real meaning,
Please check out these 3 song covers I have made. “In The
Pines” by Kurt Cobain, Nirvana “Maybe It’s Time” from A Star Is Born, and “Just
Breathe” by Pearl Jam. Very Folk style songs. https://youtu.be/0zWsVg2SLuk https://youtu.be/0JZo7FbdRiE https://youtu.be/ROemeg6JaXI
What a sad bitter, sweet love song ,Wont state the obvious ,the lyrics say it all, and your poetry is just fine xxx
If Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa could sing and compose then she would of sounded like this.
Joan Baez is surely the greatest living American and this is her finest musical achievement.
I have been a fan of Joan Baez, since I was 20 years old, I am now nearly 77, I have seen her live three times, and have many of her cd's. Her music has travelled with me through my life, and I am still touched to my core, when I listen to it. Thank you Joan.
I love when I totally forget about an artist for a period of time. It's like discovering them all over again. What a gorgeous voice and an unbelievable talent.

Rob halford turned this into the greatest heavy metal song.😎
💓💓💗💗💗🎵🎶🎶❤❤
How can you be dumb enough to love a demon? Bob is a soulless creature
Joan Baez: "As i remember your eyes were bluer than robin's eggs"
Me: Wait what...
not all song writers are ornithologists
@sinantara 66 I didn't even know she was talking abour birds, it was a dirty joke so chill.
Crazy, I found this after hearing a cover by Alaska Thunderfuck
joan could sing anything and it would be great,as now.
This love isn't finishing good!!
Your gost again...
Oh what a pity
Judas Priest did this song justice
какиее нафиг коментарии против тех кому боги дали вдохновение
Magical vocal Joan
Just thanks for the Madonna for this. She didn't wrote à lot of "great" songs. But this one is a master piece.
Not sure if anyone ever wrote and sang a more beautiful song
Does anybody know what is written on the sign behind both of them (02:07): "protest against the rising tide of ..." I cant identify the last word.
Conformity
It's really hard to read
@Dave Bing Aha. Thanks a lot. :)
A beautiful , haunting confession , incredibly well accompanied by melody that is a masterpiece itself - and leaving everybody uneasy. For that love was impossible to be happy. It certainly was one-sided. The young , testosterone loaded male , at the top of his prime , creative . successful , predatory and hungry , seeking challenges , simply was not interested in some romantic happy ending. His whole life he was an egocentric , observer , analyzer of feelings , attitudes , changes , and promoter of his own ego. She was "heading straight for the fall". And so bravely she tells us , that there ARE diamonds in all that rust . So... may be she got our love in exchange for her young infatuation.
Very good, Very good Andew! From Brazil!
@Nelson Montanha Thank you very much ! KEEP COOL !
I no my truth en life.I knew same for a lifestyle he is rote to by a gardbist and throw out.
