It's four in the morning,the end of december |
[00:44.541] |
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better |
[00:51.46] |
New york is cold,but I like where I'm living |
[00:56.267] |
There's music on clinton street all through the evening. |
[01:04.162] |
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert |
[01:15.380] |
You're living for nothing now,I hope you're keeping some kind of record. |
[01:25.277] |
Yes,and jane came by with a lock of your hair |
[01:35.952] |
She said that you gave it to her |
[01:41.743] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
[01:51.443] |
Did you ever go clear? |
[01:57.240] |
Ah,the last time we saw you you looked so much older |
[02:02.337] |
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder |
[02:08.222] |
You'd been to the station to meet every train |
[02:13.517] |
And you came home without lili marlene |
[02:21.193] |
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life |
[02:32.291] |
And when she came back she was nobody's wife. |
[02:41.741] |
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth |
[02:52.351] |
One more thin gypsy thief |
[02:58.988] |
Well I see jane's awake -- |
[03:08.349] |
She sends her regards. |
[03:44.938] |
And what can I tell you my brother,my killer |
[03:50.818] |
What can I possibly say? |
[03:55.756] |
I guess that I miss you,I guess I forgive you |
[04:02.65] |
I'm glad you stood in my way. |
[04:08.903] |
If you ever come by here,for jane or for me |
[04:21.254] |
Your enemy is sleeping,and his woman is free. |
[04:36.688] |
Yes,and thanks,for the trouble you took from her eyes |
[04:43.483] |
I thought it was there for good so I never tried. |
[04:56.866] |
And jane came by with a lock of your hair |
[05:05.628] |
She said that you gave it to her |
[05:11.244] |
That night that you planned to go clear |
[05:22.33] |
--sincerely,l.cohen |
