Famous Blue Raincoat Lyrics - Diamonds & Rust In The Bullring - Joan Baez

(L. Cohen) 

It's four in the morning, the end of December 

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 house deep in the desert 

Are you living for nothing now, 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 when 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 

But she never turned up I'm Lili Marlene

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And you treated some woman to a flake of your life 

And when she got 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 oh what can I tell you 

What can I possibly say? 

I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you 

I'm glad that you stood in my way. 

And if you ever come by here, be it for Jane or for me 

I want you to know your enemy's sleeping, I want you to know 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.
