Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat - Live Nov 13, 2008; O2 Arena, London, England lyrics

Artist: Leonard Cohen

album: Songs From The Road


It's four in the morning, the end of December
I write 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 build your little house deep in the desert
Oh, you're living for nothing now
Hope you're keeping some kind of record yet
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
That you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to little flake of your life
When she came home she was nobody's wife
Well, I see you there with a 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 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
Your enemy is sleeping, and a 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
Oh yes, 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
