Diamonds & Rust

1975年， Joan Baez 寫了一首超好聽的歌，名 《 Diamonds and Rust 》 ，是寫一個女生接了一通電話，聽到失聯10年的男生的聲音。。塵封的往昔，被遺忘的關係，像刮著的龍捲風，令女生陷入回憶裡。 

歌中的男生，是 Bob Dylan。 Joan Baez 寫下她 Bob Dylan 煙火一樣的情緣。

聽著 Joan Baez 幽怨的嗓子，細嚼歌辭，加優美的旋律，無法不感觸起來，心有點戚。除了仰慕，她一定很愛很愛 Bob Dylan 吧。

〔其實，我也很喜歡 Bob Dylan ，喜歡他年青的模樣，也喜歡他一頭蓬鬆的髮型。不知何解，我對電髮男是情有獨鍾啦！〕 

女生留給男生是一首如此動人的歌，算不算是詩意？

假若，有一天，我接到他的電話，又會怎樣？會撩起心中的悸動嗎？不過嘛，我的答案，是可參照陳奕迅的《不如不見》。嘩哈哈。

因為我喜歡目前的狀況，也知道要好好保護現在的人。

這首歌，獻給心曾跌碎了仍相信愛情的朋友們。 

 

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
And here I sit
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
Ten years ago
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
