AmIt's four in the morning, Fthe end of December
I'm Dm7writing you now just to Em7see if you're better
AmNew York is cold, but I Flike where I'm living
There's Dm7music on Clinton Street Em7all through the evening
AmI hear that you're Bm7building your little Amhouse deep in the Bm7desert
Am7You're living for Gnothing now
I Am7hope you're keeping some kind of Grecord
Yes, and CJane came by with a lock of your Ghair
She said that you gave it to Am7her
That night that you planned to go Bm7clear G
FDid you ever go Em7clear?

Couplet
Ah, the Amlast time we saw you you Flooked so much older
Your Dm7famous blue raincoat was Em7torn at the shoulder
You'd Ambeen to the station to Fmeet every train
And Dm7you came home without Lili Em7Marlene
AmAnd you treated my Bm7woman to a Amflake of your Bm7life
Am7And when she came Gback
She Am7was nobody's Gwife
Well I Csee you there with the rose in your Gteeth
One more thin gypsy Am7thief
Well I see Jane's Bm7awake G
FShe sends her Em7regards

And what Amcan I tell you my brother, Fmy killer
What Dm7can I possibly say? Em7
I guess Amthat I miss you, I guess I Fforgive you
I'm Dm7glad you stood in my way Em7
AmIf you ever come by Bm7here, for AmJane or for Bm7me
Am7Well, your enemy Gis sleeping,
Am7And his woman is Gfree
Yes, and Cthanks, for the trouble you Gtook from her eyes
I thought it was Am7there for good
So I never Bm7tried G
And CJane came by with a lock of your Ghair
She said that you gave it to Am7her
That night that you planned to go Bm7clear G
FSincerely, L Em7Cohen
