[Em]
[G] [A]
[G] [B]
[Em]
I'll be down in [C] a minute,
[G] but that's not unusual.
Just that [D] the moon is full, and you have [Em] to.
And here I sit, hand on [D] the telephone, [C] [Em] hearing [G] a voice I've known.
A couple [D] of light years ago, [Em] heading straight for a fall.
Well, as I remember, your eyes were [G] blue with robin's [C] eggs.
My [G] poetry was lousy, it seems.
And where [A] are you calling [D] from?
Well, Boots, [Em] say it in your face.
Forty years ago, I [D] bought you some cuff [C] links.
[G] And you brought me something.
And we both [A] know what memories can bring.
Maybe [Em] diamonds.
[G]
[A]
[G] [Bm] [B]
[Em] [B]
[Em]
Well, you burst on the scene, already [C] a legend.
[Em] The unwashed [G] phenomenon.
The original bag [A] of iron.
He strayed into [Em] my arms.
And there he stayed, temporary [C] in an off-seat seat.
[G] The Madonna was yours for feet.
Missed the girl [D] on the half-shelf.
[Em]
Now I [Bm] see you standing with brown leaves falling, [Am] snow in your hair.
[Bm] Now I smell you at the window of the tiny hotel, on a [Am] washing glance.
[C] Our breath comes out like [G] clouds, and you're losing height [G] again.
[F] Leave me.
We both could have died [G] that day.
[B]
[G] [A]
[Em] [B]
[Em]
Now you're telling me [C] you're not nostalgic.
[Bm]
Well, give [Am] me another [G] word for it.
You heard someone [D] right.
I'm looking [Em] for a way.
Cause I need some lovingness now.
So [D] come back to [C] clearly.
[Em] I once [G] loved you dearly.
And if you're [A] offering me diamonds at last, [E] well, I'll [Em] take the day.
[N]
