It's four in the morning, the end of December |
| [00:32.61] |
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better |
| [00:37.59] |
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living |
| [00:44.28] |
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening. |
| [00:50.88] |
I hear that you're building |
| [00:54.10] |
your little house deep in the desert |
| [01:02.07] |
You're living for nothing now, |
| [01:06.46] |
I hope you're keeping some kind of record. |
| [01:11.86] |
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| [01:21.81] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [01:27.56] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
| [01:38.01] |
Did you ever go clear? |
| [01:43.16] |
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older |
| [01:49.37] |
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder |
| [01:55.45] |
You'd been to the station to meet every train |
| [02:02.97] |
And you came home without Lili Marlene |
| [02:08.05] |
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life |
| [02:21.43] |
And when she came back she was nobody's wife. |
| [02:30.04] |
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth |
| [02:41.10] |
One more thin gypsy thief |
| [02:47.49] |
Well I see Jane's awake |
| [02:56.11] |
She sends her regards. |
| [03:13.58] |
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer |
| [03:21.11] |
What can I possibly say? |
| [03:25.54] |
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you |
| [03:32.38] |
I'm glad you stood in my way. |
| [03:38.44] |
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me |
| [03:49.56] |
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free. |
| [03:59.91] |
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes |
| [04:09.88] |
I thought it was there for good so I never tried. |
| [04:22.60] |
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| [04:31.50] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [04:37.34] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
| [04:47.52] |
Sincerely L Cohen |
