[00:25.81]It's four in the morning, the end of December
[00:31.61]I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
[00:37.16]New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
[00:42.41]There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
[00:49.58]Tell me you're building your house deep in the desert
[00:59.82]Are you living for nothing now, hope you're keeping some kind of record.
[01:09.36]Yes, Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[01:17.73]Said you gave it to her
[01:22.22]That night when you planned to go clear,OH
[01:31.45]Did you ever go clear?
[01:35.14]Well, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
[01:40.69]Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
[01:45.93]Stood in the station and met every train
[01:51.17]But she never showed up I'm Lili Marlene
[01:56.29]And you treated some woman to a flake of your life
[02:08.71]When she got home she was nobody's wife.
[02:16.65]Yes, I see you there with a rose in your teeth
[02:26.01]One more thin gypsy thief
[02:31.47]Well I see Jane's awake
[02:39.65]She sends her regards.
[02:46.75]
[03:04.35]And what can I tell you oh what can I tell you
[03:09.53]What can I possibly say?
[03:14.08]I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
[03:19.82]I'm glad that you stood in my way.
[03:26.13]And if you ever come by here, be it for Jane or for me
[03:34.61]I want you to know your enemy's sleeping
[03:39.60]I want you to know your woman is free.
[03:45.10]Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
[03:55.46]I thought it was there for good so we never really tried,OH.
[04:07.25]And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[04:15.42]Said you gave it to her
[04:19.85]That night when you planned to go clear
[04:29.65]Sincerely, a friend
