(L. Cohen)
2
It's four in the morning, the end of December
3
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
4
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
5
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
6
Tell me you're building your house deep in the desert
7
Are you living for nothing now, hope you're keeping some kind of record.
8
Yes, Jane came by with a lock of your hair
9
Said you gave it to her
10
That night when you planned to go clear, oh
11
Did you ever go clear?
12
Well, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
13
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
14
Stood in the station and met every train
15
But she never showed up I'm Lili Marlene
16
And you treated some woman to a flake of your life
17
When she got home she was nobody's wife.
18
Yes, I see you there with a rose in your teeth
19
One more thin gypsy thief
20
Well I see Jane's awake
21
She sends her regards.
22
And what can I tell you oh what can I tell you
23
What can I possibly say?
24
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
25
I'm glad that you stood in my way.
26
And if you ever come by here, be it for Jane or for me
27
I want you to know your enemy's sleeping, I want you to know your woman is free.
28
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
29
I thought it was there for good so we never really tried, oh.
30
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
31
Said you gave it to her
32
That night when you planned to go clear
33
Sincerely, a friend
