It's four in the morning the end of december |
[00:31.480] |
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better |
[00:37.930] |
New york is cold but I like where I'm living |
[00:43.840] |
There's music on clinton street all through the evening |
[00:51.640] |
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert |
[01:03.490] |
You're living for nothing now I hope you're keeping some kind of record |
[01:13.090] |
Yes and jane came by with a lock of your hair |
[01:22.740] |
She said that you gave it to her |
[01:28.690] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
[01:39.490] |
Did you ever go clear |
[01:44.290] |
Ah the last time we saw you you looked so much older |
[01:50.940] |
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder |
[01:57.350] |
You'd been to the station to meet every train |
[02:02.850] |
And you came home without lili marlene |
[02:08.900] |
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life |
[02:23.350] |
And when she came back she was nobody's wife |
[02:33.600] |
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth |
[02:43.810] |
One more thin gypsy thief |
[02:49.960] |
Well I see jane's awake -- |
[03:00.360] |
She sends her regards |
[03:31.560] |
And what can I tell you my brother my killer |
[03:40.310] |
What can I possibly say |
[03:44.020] |
I guess that I miss you I guess I forgive you |
[03:50.070] |
I'm glad you stood in my way |
[03:58.270] |
If you ever come by here for jane or for me |
[04:07.970] |
Your enemy is sleeping and his woman is free |
[04:20.780] |
Yes and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes |
[04:31.930] |
I thought it was there for good so I never tried |
[04:46.280] |
And jane came by with a lock of your hair |
[04:54.780] |
She said that you gave it to her |
[05:00.890] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
