[00:01.43]
[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 home
[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
