Famous Blue Raincoat |
| It's four in the morning, the end of December |
| I'm writing you now just to see if you're better |
| New York is cold, but I like where I'm living |
| There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening |
| I hear that you're building |
| Your little house deep in the desert |
| You're living for nothing now |
| I hope you're keeping some kind of record |
| Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| She said that you gave it to her |
| That night that you planned to go clear |
| Did you ever go clear? |
| Oh, the last time we saw you you looked so much older |
| Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder |
| You'd been to the station to meet every train |
| But then you came home without Lili Marlene |
| And you treated my woman |
| To a flake of your life |
| And when she came back |
| She was nobody's wife |
| Well, I see you there with the rose in your teeth |
| One more thin gypsy thief |
| Well I see Jane's awake |
| She sends her regard |
| And what can I tell you my brother, my killer? |
| What can I possibly say? |
| I guess that I miss you. |
| I guess I forgive you |
| I'm glad you stood in my way |
| If you ever come by here |
| For Jane or for me |
| Well, your enemy is sleeping |
| And his woman is free |
| Yes, and thanks for the trouble |
| You took from her eyes |
| I thought it was there for good |
| So I never tried |
| And Jane came by with a lock of your hair |
| She said that you gave it to her |
| That night that you planned to go clear |
| Sincerely, L. Cohen |
