Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
and today is a full moon. imagine that...
there has been a controversy about carly simon's song you're so vain and just who she is singing about. the most accepted theory is that it refers to warren beatty. no one really knows. she never has said.
diamonds and rust, on the other hand, not only leaves little to the imagination, but joan baez said to whom the song refers - bob dylan. she had a relationship with him and there are some subtle and some not-so-subtle references in the lyrics.
the above version is from a live performance in 1975. i previewed more recent ones but they all seem filled with the wisdom of having age. i like this one because it comes across more to joan baez's possible state of mind at the time.
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
