Nathaniel Rateliff - Famous Blue Raincoat lyrics

[Nathaniel Rateliff - Famous Blue Raincoat lyrics]

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 little house
Deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now
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 I 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


You came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman
To a flake of your life
And when she came back 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 that 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
While your enemy is sleeping
And his 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
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?
