[00:24.23]	It’s four in the morning, the end of December
[00:30.40]	I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
[00:36.49]	New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
[00:42.43]	There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
[00:49.16]	I hear that you're building
[00:52.75]	your little house deep in the desert
[01:01.24]	You're living for nothing now
[01:05.76]	I hope you’re keeping some kind of record
[01:10.71]	Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[01:20.94]	She said that you gave it to her
[01:27.28]	That night that you planned to go clear
[01:37.87]	Did you ever go clear?
[01:45.17]	Ah, the last time we saw you
[01:48.28]	you looked so much older
[01:51.28]	Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
[01:57.22]	You'd been to the station to meet every train
[02:02.93]	And you came home without Lili Marlene
[02:10.22]	And you treated my woman
[02:14.48]	to a flake of your life
[02:21.73]	And when she came back
[02:26.42]	she was nobody’s wife
[02:31.54]	Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
[02:43.04]	One more thin gypsy thief
[02:48.37]	Well I see Jane's awake --
[02:58.00]	She sends her regards.
[03:05.59]	And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
[03:12.01]	What can I possibly say?
[03:17.77]	I guess that I miss you,
[03:20.57]	I guess I forgive you
[03:23.83]	I'm glad you stood in my way.
[03:30.97]	If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
[03:42.71]	Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
[03:52.09]	Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
[04:03.36]	I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
[04:16.24]	And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[04:26.49]	She said that you gave it to her
[04:32.43]	That night that you planned to go clear
[04:42.78]	——Sincerely, L .Cohen
