Someone
Golden and Rust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Feelings when you touch me
Baby, please believe me when I say that every heart has a weakness
Maybe yours is mine
Baby, mine stops beating every single time you close your eyes or do that thing with your hands
Tell me would it be such a surprise if I told you in advance that I need you
Despite all of the circumstances
I know you got me now
Always be around
I just really, I just really need your love
Maybe you could, maybe you could be the one
I just wanna, I just wanna see you one more time
Oh oh, I just really, I just really need your love
Maybe you could, maybe you could be the one
I just wanna, I just wanna see you one more time
Baby, what you thinkin’
Tell me everything that’s on your mind
You can keep your secrets
Just be sure you’re making room for mine
‘Cause even love has a season
It can come and go
But baby I still see it every time I hold you in my arms and tell you it’s all okay
Tell me would you let me have your heart if I gave mine in exchange
‘Cause I need you
Despite all of the circumstances
Despite all of my flaws
I know I got you now
Never let you down
I just really, I just really need your love
Maybe you could, maybe you could be the one
I just wanna, I just wanna see you one more time
Oh oh, I just really, I just really need your love
Maybe you could, maybe you could be the one
I just wanna, I just wanna see you one more time
I just really, I just really need your love (I need it)
Maybe you could, maybe you could be the one
I just wanna, I just wanna see you one more time
Oh oh, I just really, I just really need your love
Maybe you could, maybe you could be the one
I just wanna, I just wanna see you one more time
One more time

There is several words of brilliance, in this song, as Paddington Brown says this is not poetry it is pure unadulterated LOVE she is singing a massive deep love song , to Bob and when she sings certain lines and her voice and how she drops down to lower notes I am emotionally knocked out, always brings tears with its magnificent unbelievable emotion , I love music amd a million songs , but some do something to you, that hit a deep spot. And these peope with the genius to write the words and music amaze me, especially about someone we think we know.
Now another song that I would call a massive love song is "Let Her Cry" by Hootie and the Blowfish, not the same song style but the same power of love song , listen to the lyrics, and see what heart wrenching things the singer is telling in this music story.
Last but not least , it is 2023,\.
WHERE HAS THE DEEP QUALITY AND EMOTIONAL UPLIFTING MUSIC GONE???
I appreciate new styles but the feel is dying , the tune is going , there is no structure , songs are like Ads sometimes, so YOUTUBE thanks for a spot I can get lost in with my earphones.
Words with meaning and put to good music and with feelings from the heart.
And it is an older song and to David Vergari, you sir are spot on the mark, this song really does move people, deeply. Genius in fact.

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 cuff links
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
Could keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling all 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
'Cause 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

I saw her about 10 years ago in Durham NC, where I was sitting on the 3rd row. She was fantastic, but she didn't do this song for the entire regular concert. On her first encore, she still didn't sing it so I stood and called for "Diamonds and Rust".....Her second encore ended the same way, and on her third encore, she looked and pointed at me and said "this is for you". :) I still get goose bumps thinking about this.
@seansmith1303
What a cool story. :)
@zognowak2842
@@seansmith1303 Thanks. I'll always remember that.
@emptyface4095
How lucky you are...
@rukanthsameera8563
amazing
@paulkeith61
Since she wrote it for Bob Dylan she probably did not want to sing it. It was over.
@magistra137
This is one of the most poignant and poetic songs. I love the juxtaposition of quoting him telling her that her poetry wasn’t good while she is weaving one of the most beautiful love songs, both in poetry and melody. To me, this is just one of those pieces of magic that the world blesses us with sometimes. Thank you, Joan.
@poom641
Seems to have come from the heart for sure, occasionally hearing this song brings tears to my eyes
@camillesolange182
It was too good for him! She was too good for him too :-)

I call her the Queen of American Folk Music!
