Angela McCluskey - Famous Blue Raincoat lyrics

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, 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 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 never came home without Lili Marlene So you treated some woman to a flake of your life When she got home 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 Oh what can I tell you What can I tell you 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 Here for Jane or for me 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 really 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
