Bm7 G It's four in the morning, the end of December Em F#m7 I'm writing you now just to see if you're better Bm7 G New York is cold, but I like where I'm living Em F#m7 There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening Bm7 C#m7 Bm7 C#m7 I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert Bm7 A Bm7 A You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record
D A Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair Bm7 She said that you gave it to her C#m7 A That night that you planned to go clear G F#m7 Did you ever go clear?
Ah, 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 And you came home without Lili Marlene And you treated my woman to a flake of your life And when she came back she was nobody's wife
Well 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 you stood in my way If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me Well your enemy is sleeping, and his 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 that you planned to go clear Sincerely, L. Cohen
