Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
Did you ever go clear?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
I'm glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
It's four in the morning, the end of December
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
One more thin gypsy thief
She said that you gave it to her
She said that you gave it to her
She sends her regards.
Sincerely, L. Cohen
That night that you planned to go clear
That night that you planned to go clear
Well I see Jane's awake
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
You'd been to the station to meet every train
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
