| It's four in the morning, the end of December | |
| I'm writing you now just to see if you're better | |
| New York is cold, but I like where I'm living | |
| There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening. | |
| I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert | |
| You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record. | |
| Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair | |
| She said that you gave it to her | |
| That night that you planned to go clear | |
| Did you ever go clear? | |
| Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older | |
| Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder | |
| You'd been to the station to meet every train | |
| And you came home without Lili Marlene | |
| And you treated my woman to a flake of your life | |
| And when she came back she was nobody's wife. | |
| Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth | |
| One more thin gypsy thief | |
| Well I see Jane's awake | |
| She sends her regards. | |
| And what can I tell you my brother, my killer | |
| What can I possibly say? | |
| I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you | |
| I'm glad you stood in my way. | |
| If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me | |
| Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free. | |
| Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes | |
| I thought it was there for good so I never tried. | |
| And Jane came by with a lock of your hair | |
| She said that you gave it to her | |
| That night that you planned to go clear |
