"The guys go off now and, um, we do a couple songs. I haven't done this one on the whole tour, so, um... it could be a disaster, so, you know, if I forget the words, just scream 'em. Okay. I know how you feel, lads. I need bigger hands. That's tough." |
| [01:00.579] |
It's four in the morning, the end of December |
| [01:05.759] |
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better |
| [01:11.807] |
New York is cold, but i like where i'm living |
| [01:17.676] |
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening |
| [01:25.234] |
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert |
| [01:35.979] |
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record, yes |
| [01:46.366] |
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| [01:54.412] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [02:00.159] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
| [02:09.420] |
Did you ever go clear? |
| [02:13.204] |
Last time we saw you you looked so much older |
| [02:19.305] |
Your famous blue raincoat torn at the shoulder |
| [02:24.809] |
Been to the station to meet every train |
| [02:30.107] |
And you came home without Lili Marlene |
| [02:36.777] |
You treated my woman to a flake of your life |
| [02:47.795] |
And when she came back she was nobody's wife |
| [02:57.839] |
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth |
| [03:05.870] |
Just one more thin gypsy thief |
| [03:12.955] |
I see Jane's awake now |
| [03:20.618] |
She sends her regards |
| [03:46.219] |
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer |
| [03:52.164] |
What can I possibly say? |
| [03:56.996] |
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you |
| [04:03.306] |
I'm glad you stood in my way |
| [04:09.216] |
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me |
| [04:21.051] |
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free |
| [04:29.419] |
Well, thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes |
| [04:40.902] |
I thought it was there for good so I never tried |
| [04:53.618] |
Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| [05:01.270] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [05:07.532] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
| [05:14.874] |
Sincerely, Leonard Cohen |
