[00:25.00]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
