| 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 your building |
| Your little house deep in the desert |
| You’re living for nothing now |
| I hope you’re keeping some kind of a 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? |
| The last time I 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 alone without Lili Marlene |
| And you treated my woman to flake of your life |
| And when she came back she was nobody’s 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 you hair |
| She said that you gave it to her |
| That night that you planned to go clear |
| Sincerely, L. Cohen |
