[00:00.13] Artist: Jennifer Warnes
[00:02.84] Album: Famous Blue Raincoat
[00:06.43] Title: Famous Blue Raincoat
[00:09.43]
[00:16.43]
[00:26.41] It's four in the morning, the end of December
[00:32.68] I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
[00:39.20] New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
[00:44.95] There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
[00:52.70] I hear that you're building
[00:56.83] your house deep in the desert
[01:04.38] Are you living for nothing now?
[01:08.39] Hope you're keeping some kind of record.
[01:14.09] Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[01:23.91] She said that you gave it to her
[01:29.79] That night when you planned to go clear
[01:40.44] Did you ever go clear?
[01:45.24] Ah, the last time we saw you
[01:48.64] you looked so much older
[01:51.63] Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
[01:57.78] You'd been to the station to meet every train
[02:03.57] But she never turned up I'm Lili Marlene
[02:10.25] So you treated some woman to a flake of your life
[02:24.46] And when she got home she was nobody's wife.
[02:34.11] Well I see you there with a rose in your teeth
[02:45.08] One more thin gypsy thief
[02:51.52] Well I see Jane's awake
[03:01.46] She sends her regards.
[03:07.45]
[03:31.76] And what can I tell you oh what can I tell you
[03:39.47] What can I possibly say?
[03:44.92] I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
[03:51.11] I'm glad that you stood in my way.
[03:58.88] And if you ever come by here, be it for Jane or for me
[04:08.59] I want you to know your enemy's sleeping
[04:14.71] I want you to know your woman is free.
[04:21.26] Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
[04:32.85] I thought it was there for good so I never really tried.
[04:46.77] And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[04:55.53] She said that you gave it to her
[05:01.69] That night when you planned to go clear
[05:12.87] Sincerely, a friend
[05:19.92] ~Wish you happy! --enjoy100~
