Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat
|
|
it's four in the moring, the gnd of december
|
i'm writing you now just to see if you'r better
|
new york is cold but i like where i'm living
|
there's music on clinton street all thru the evening
|
i hear that you'r building your little house
|
deep in the desert
|
you'r 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 planneded to go clear
|
did you ever go clear?
|
|
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
|
you came home alon without lili marlene
|
and you treated my woman to a flake of your life
|
and when she cameback she was nobodys wife
|
well., i see you there with a rose in your teeth
|
one more thin gypsy thief
|
well, i see jane's awake
|
she sends her regards
|
|
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 your 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 you planned to go clear
|
sincerely , l.cohen
