| [00:25.38] |
It's four in the morning, |
| [00:28.12] |
|
| [00:28.85] |
the end of December |
| [00:30.76] |
|
| [00:33.10] |
I'm writing you now |
| [00:34.42] |
just to see if you're better |
| [00:37.00] |
|
| [00:38.27] |
New York is cold |
| [00:40.40] |
but I like where I'm living |
| [00:42.99] |
|
| [00:43.53] |
There's music on Clinton street |
| [00:47.29] |
all through the evening |
| [00:49.17] |
|
| [00:51.30] |
I hear that you're building |
| [00:53.93] |
|
| [00:54.54] |
your little house |
| [00:56.77] |
|
| [00:57.60] |
Deep in the desert |
| [00:59.57] |
|
| [01:03.14] |
You're living for nothing now |
| [01:06.03] |
|
| [01:07.05] |
I hope you're keeping |
| [01:08.72] |
|
| [01:09.43] |
some kind of record |
| [01:11.68] |
|
| [01:12.70] |
Yes, and Jane came |
| [01:16.50] |
|
| [01:17.31] |
by with a lock of your hair |
| [01:21.02] |
|
| [01:22.80] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [01:27.09] |
|
| [01:28.74] |
That night that you |
| [01:30.34] |
planned to go clear |
| [01:33.20] |
|
| [01:39.25] |
Did you ever go clear? |
| [01:42.01] |
|
| [01:44.25] |
Ah, the last time we saw you, |
| [01:47.52] |
you looked so much older |
| [01:49.86] |
|
| [01:50.60] |
Your famous blue raincoat |
| [01:52.95] |
|
| [01:53.46] |
was torn at the shoulder |
| [01:56.10] |
|
| [01:56.75] |
You'd been to the station |
| [01:59.46] |
to meet every train |
| [02:01.85] |
And you came home |
| [02:05.18] |
without Lili Marlene |
| [02:07.82] |
|
| [02:08.63] |
And you treated my woman |
| [02:12.37] |
|
| [02:14.32] |
to a flake of your life |
| [02:18.14] |
|
| [02:22.25] |
And when she came back |
| [02:24.22] |
|
| [02:27.54] |
she was nobody's wife |
| [02:30.10] |
|
| [02:31.10] |
Well, I see you there |
| [02:36.20] |
with the rose in your teeth |
| [02:39.48] |
|
| [02:42.07] |
One more thin gypsy thief |
| [02:45.94] |
|
| [02:48.45] |
Well, I see Jane's awake, |
| [02:51.20] |
|
| [02:57.24] |
she sends her regards |
| [03:00.34] |
|
| [03:14.87] |
And what can I tell you, |
| [03:18.23] |
my brother, my killer |
| [03:20.58] |
|
| [03:22.35] |
What can I possibly say? |
| [03:24.95] |
|
| [03:26.95] |
I guess that I miss you, |
| [03:29.42] |
|
| [03:30.71] |
I guess I forgive you |
| [03:32.11] |
|
| [03:33.69] |
I'm glad you stood in my way |
| [03:36.28] |
|
| [03:39.69] |
If you ever come by here |
| [03:42.68] |
|
| [03:45.44] |
for Jane or for me |
| [03:47.65] |
|
| [03:51.03] |
Well, your enemy is sleeping |
| [03:53.58] |
|
| [03:56.71] |
and his woman is free |
| [03:59.11] |
|
| [04:00.20] |
Yes, and thanks for the trouble |
| [04:06.77] |
you took from her eyes |
| [04:10.45] |
|
| [04:11.17] |
I thought it was there for good, |
| [04:16.06] |
|
| [04:17.03] |
so I never tried |
| [04:19.04] |
|
| [04:24.24] |
And Jane came by |
| [04:28.47] |
with a lock of your hair |
| [04:31.51] |
|
| [04:33.21] |
She said that you gave it to her |
| [04:37.54] |
|
| [04:39.22] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
| [04:43.99] |
|
| [04:49.47] |
Sincerely, L.Cohen |
