[ti:famous blue raincoat]
[ar:tori amos]
[00:38.632] It's four in the morning,the end of december
[00:44.541] I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
[00:51.46] New york is cold,but I like where I'm living
[00:56.267] There's music on clinton street all through the evening.
[01:04.162] I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
[01:15.380] You're living for nothing now,I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
[01:25.277] Yes,and jane came by with a lock of your hair
[01:35.952] She said that you gave it to her
[01:41.743] That night that you planned to go clear
[01:51.443] Did you ever go clear?
[01:57.240] Ah,the last time we saw you you looked so much older
[02:02.337] Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
[02:08.222] You'd been to the station to meet every train
[02:13.517] And you came home without lili marlene
[02:21.193] And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
[02:32.291] And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
[02:41.741] Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
[02:52.351] One more thin gypsy thief
[02:58.988] Well I see jane's awake --
[03:08.349] She sends her regards.
[03:44.938] And what can I tell you my brother,my killer
[03:50.818] What can I possibly say?
[03:55.756] I guess that I miss you,I guess I forgive you
[04:02.65] I'm glad you stood in my way.
[04:08.903] If you ever come by here,for jane or for me
[04:21.254] Your enemy is sleeping,and his woman is free.
[04:36.688] Yes,and thanks,for the trouble you took from her eyes
[04:43.483] I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
[04:56.866] And jane came by with a lock of your hair
[05:05.628] She said that you gave it to her
[05:11.244] That night that you planned to go clear
[05:22.33] --sincerely,l.cohen
