[00:25.20]It's four in the morning the end of December
[00:32.89]I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
[00:38.12]New York is cold but I like where I'm living
[00:44.80]There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
[00:51.02]I hear that you're building
[00:54.34]your little house deep in the desert
[01:02.92]You're living for nothing now
[01:07.24]I hope you're keeping some kind of record
[01:12.79]Yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[01:22.46]She said that you gave it to her
[01:28.31]That night that you planned to go clear
[01:38.75]Did you ever go clear
[01:44.18]Ah the last time we saw you
[01:47.43]you looked so much older
[01:50.24]Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
[01:56.25]You'd been to the station to meet every train
[02:03.25]And you came home without Lili Marlene
[02:08.09]And you treated my woman
[02:13.79]to a flake of your life
[02:21.68]And when she came back she was nobody's wife
[02:30.95]Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
[02:41.40]One more thin gypsy thief
[02:47.74]Well I see Jane's awake --
[02:56.48]She sends her regards
[03:14.01]And what can I tell you my brother my killer
[03:20.59]What can I possibly say
[03:26.18]I guess that I miss you
[03:29.93]I guess I forgive you
[03:32.95]I'm glad you stood in my way
[03:39.13]If you ever come by here for Jane or for me
[03:50.10]Your enemy is sleeping and his woman is free
[03:59.27]Yes and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
[04:10.51]I thought it was there for good so I never tried
[04:23.33]And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
[04:32.24]She said that you gave it to her
[04:38.09]That night that you planned to go clear
[04:48.20]Sincerely,
[04:49.80]L.Cohen.
