1
00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:42,064
It's four in the morning,

2
00:00:42,065 --> 00:00:44,460
the end of December;

3
00:00:44,953 --> 00:00:47,387
I'm writing you now

4
00:00:47,388 --> 00:00:50,462
to see if you're better.

5
00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:53,014
New York is cold,

6
00:00:53,015 --> 00:00:56,034
but I like where I'm living,

7
00:00:56,107 --> 00:00:59,498
there's music on Clinton Street

8
00:00:59,499 --> 00:01:02,124
all through the evening.

9
00:01:04,134 --> 00:01:06,951
I hear that you're building

10
00:01:07,484 --> 00:01:09,891
your little house

11
00:01:10,552 --> 00:01:13,613
deep in the desert...

12
00:01:15,839 --> 00:01:19,259
you're living for nothing now,

13
00:01:19,806 --> 00:01:21,596
hope you're keeping

14
00:01:21,605 --> 00:01:24,961
some kind of record.

15
00:01:25,398 --> 00:01:34,892
Yes, and Jane came by
with a lock of your hair.

16
00:01:36,265 --> 00:01:40,711
She said that you gave it to her 

17
00:01:41,837 --> 00:01:47,363
on the night that you planned to go clear.

18
00:01:51,534 --> 00:01:54,814
Did you ever go clear?

19
00:01:56,571 --> 00:01:59,105
Last time I saw you,

20
00:01:59,106 --> 00:02:02,400
you looked so much older,

21
00:02:02,435 --> 00:02:05,689
your famous blue raincoat,

22
00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:08,317
torn at the shoulder.

23
00:02:08,842 --> 00:02:13,828
You'd been to the
station to meet every train;

24
00:02:13,836 --> 00:02:19,682
you came home alone without Lili Marleen.

25
00:02:21,179 --> 00:02:25,276
You treated my woman

26
00:02:25,277 --> 00:02:30,192
to a flake of your life,

27
00:02:32,460 --> 00:02:35,363
and when she came back,

28
00:02:37,539 --> 00:02:41,432
she was nobody's wife.

29
00:02:41,996 --> 00:02:47,654
Well, I see you there

30
00:02:47,656 --> 00:02:50,895
with a rose in your teeth,

31
00:02:52,935 --> 00:02:57,768
one more thin gypsy thief...

32
00:02:59,212 --> 00:03:04,851
I see Jane's awake --

33
00:03:08,736 --> 00:03:12,595
she sends her regards.

34
00:03:45,562 --> 00:03:51,228
What can I tell you,
my brother, my killer?

35
00:03:51,446 --> 00:03:55,135
What can I possibly say?

36
00:03:56,271 --> 00:03:59,583
Hey, I guess that I miss you,

37
00:03:59,584 --> 00:04:02,096
I guess I forgive you,

38
00:04:02,317 --> 00:04:06,374
I'm glad you stood in my way.

39
00:04:09,598 --> 00:04:13,465
If you ever come by here,

40
00:04:14,097 --> 00:04:18,919
for Jane or for me,

41
00:04:21,502 --> 00:04:24,840
your enemy is sleeping,

42
00:04:27,703 --> 00:04:31,391
and his woman is free.

43
00:04:31,137 --> 00:04:32,832
Well,

44
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,193
thanks for the trouble

45
00:04:38,194 --> 00:04:44,191
you took from her eyes,

46
00:04:44,226 --> 00:04:46,583
I thought it was there,

47
00:04:47,833 --> 00:04:54,132
for good, so I never tried.

48
00:04:57,396 --> 00:05:05,117
And Jane came by
with a lock of your hair,

49
00:05:06,354 --> 00:05:10,946
she said that you gave it to her

50
00:05:12,050 --> 00:05:18,151
on the night that you planned to go clear. 

51
00:05:22,712 --> 00:05:27,371
Sincerely, L. Cohen
