Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat Lyrics
(l. cohen)Its four in the morning, the end of decemberIm writing you now just to see if youre betterNew york is cold, but I like where Im livingTheres music on clinton street all through the evening.I hear that youre building your house deep in the desertAre you living for nothing now, hope youre keeping some kind of record.Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hairShe said that you gave it to herThat night when you planned to go clearDid you ever go clear?Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much olderYour famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulderYoud been to the station to meet every trainBut she never turned up Im lili marleneAnd you treated some woman to a flake of your lifeAnd when she got home she was nobodys wife.Well I see you there with a rose in your teethOne more thin gypsy thiefWell I see janes awakeShe sends her regards.And what can I tell you oh what can I tell youWhat can I possibly say?I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive youIm glad that you stood in my way.And if you ever come by here, be it for jane or for meI want you to know your enemys sleeping, I want you to know your woman is free.Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyesI thought it was there for good so I never really tried.And jane came by with a lock of your hairShe said that you gave it to herThat night when you planned to go clearSincerely, a friend
