[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 |
