It's four in the morning the end of December |
| [00:32.89] |
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better |
| [00:38.12] |
New York is cold but I like where I'm living |
| [00:44.80] |
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening |
| [00:51.02] |
I hear that you're building |
| [00:54.34] |
your little house deep in the desert |
| [01:02.92] |
You're living for nothing now |
| [01:07.24] |
I hope you're keeping some kind of record |
| [01:12.79] |
Yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| [01:22.46] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [01:28.31] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
| [01:38.75] |
Did you ever go clear |
| [01:44.18] |
Ah the last time we saw you |
| [01:47.43] |
you looked so much older |
| [01:50.24] |
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder |
| [01:56.25] |
You'd been to the station to meet every train |
| [02:03.25] |
And you came home without Lili Marlene |
| [02:08.09] |
And you treated my woman |
| [02:13.79] |
to a flake of your life |
| [02:21.68] |
And when she came back she was nobody's wife |
| [02:30.95] |
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth |
| [02:41.40] |
One more thin gypsy thief |
| [02:47.74] |
Well I see Jane's awake -- |
| [02:56.48] |
She sends her regards |
| [03:14.01] |
And what can I tell you my brother my killer |
| [03:20.59] |
What can I possibly say |
| [03:26.18] |
I guess that I miss you |
| [03:29.93] |
I guess I forgive you |
| [03:32.95] |
I'm glad you stood in my way |
| [03:39.13] |
If you ever come by here for Jane or for me |
| [03:50.10] |
Your enemy is sleeping and his woman is free |
| [03:59.27] |
Yes and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes |
| [04:10.51] |
I thought it was there for good so I never tried |
| [04:23.33] |
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| [04:32.24] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [04:38.09] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
| [04:48.20] |
Sincerely, |
| [04:49.80] |
L.Cohen. |
