FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT Leonard Cohen/Jennifer Warnes ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 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 house deep in the desert, Are you living for nothing now? Hope you're keeping some kind of record. Yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair, She said you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear. Did you ever go clear? The last time we saw you You looked so much older, Your famous blue rain coat was torn at the shoulder. You'd been to the station To meet every train But she never turned up, I mean Lili Marlene. So you treated some woman to a flake of your life And when she got home 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? Oh, What can I tell you? What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you, I'm glad that you stood in my way And if you ever come by here, Be it for Jane or for me, I want you to know your enemy is sleeping I want you to know your woman is free. Thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good, So I never really tried. And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said you gave it to her The night that you planned to go clear, Sincerely, A friend.
