Famous Blue Raincoat

Famous Blue Raincoat - Carolyn Debern

Written by：L.Cohen

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 little house deep in the desert

You're 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 you planned 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

Alone

Without lili marlene

And you treated my woman

To a flake of your life

And when she came back

She was nobody's wife

Yes

I see you there with

The 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 that you stood in my way

If you ever come by here

For jane or for me where

Your enemy is sleeping

And your woman is free

Yes and thanks for 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

Night

You planned to go clear

For silli friend
