[00:35.400] It's four in the morning, the end of December
[00:43.020] I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
[00:47.950] New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
[00:54.260] There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
[01:01.430] I hear that you're building
[01:04.770] your little house deep in the desert
[01:13.040] You're living for nothing now
[01:17.080] I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
[01:22.840] Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[01:32.630] She said that you gave it to her
[01:38.330] That night that you planned to go clear
[01:49.110] Did you ever go clear?
[01:53.920] Ah, the last time we saw you
[01:57.410] you looked so much older
[02:00.370] Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
[02:06.420] You'd been to the station to meet every train
[02:13.050] And you came home without Lili Marlene
[02:18.510] And you treated my woman
[02:24.150] to a flake of your life
[02:31.320] And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
[02:41.820] Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
[02:51.920] One more thin gypsy thief
[02:58.220] Well I see Jane's awake --
[03:07.030] She sends her regards.
[03:24.380] And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
[03:31.960] What can I possibly say?
[03:36.400] I guess that I miss you,
[03:39.460] I guess I forgive you
[03:43.300] I'm glad you stood in my way.
[03:49.210] If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
[04:00.210] Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
[04:09.730] Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
[04:20.790] I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
[04:33.380] And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[04:42.300] She said that you gave it to her
[04:48.220] That night that you planned to go clear
[05:12.790]
