It's four in the morning, the end of December |
| [00:32.410] |
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better |
| [00:37.330] |
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living |
| [00:42.640] |
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening. |
| [00:50.200] |
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert |
| [01:02.020] |
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record. |
| [01:11.630] |
|
| [01:11.730] |
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| [01:21.700] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [01:27.500] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
| [01:37.920] |
Did you ever go clear? |
| [01:42.880] |
|
| [01:42.930] |
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older |
| [01:49.680] |
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder |
| [01:55.490] |
You'd been to the station to meet every train |
| [02:00.820] |
And you came home without Lili Marlene |
| [02:06.910] |
|
| [02:07.320] |
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life |
| [02:20.840] |
And when she came back she was nobody's wife. |
| [02:29.800] |
|
| [02:29.850] |
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth |
| [02:40.610] |
One more thin gypsy thief |
| [02:46.970] |
Well I see Jane's awake -- |
| [02:50.580] |
|
| [02:55.690] |
She sends her regards. |
| [03:03.420] |
|
| [03:13.410] |
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer |
| [03:20.890] |
What can I possibly say? |
| [03:25.190] |
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you |
| [03:32.000] |
I'm glad you stood in my way. |
| [03:35.860] |
|
| [03:37.960] |
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me |
| [03:49.270] |
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free. |
| [03:58.390] |
|
| [03:58.500] |
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes |
| [04:09.560] |
I thought it was there for good so I never tried. |
| [04:19.590] |
|
| [04:22.390] |
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| [04:31.400] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [04:37.360] |
That night that you planned to go clear -- |
| [04:43.110] |
|
| [04:47.380] |
Sincerely, L. Cohen |
