歌词
It's four in the morning the end of December
现在是凌晨四点，十二月尾声
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
此刻正在给你写信，想知道你可否安好
New York is cold but I like where I'm living
纽约的冬天很冷，但我喜欢我住的地方
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
因为我住的克林顿街，彻夜都响着音乐
I hear that you're building
我听说你在荒漠深处
your little house deep in the desert
建造着自己的小屋
You're living for nothing now
你现在真的一无所求了吗
I hope you're keeping some kind of record
我多希望你能有所眷恋
Yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
简来过，带着你的一缕发结
She said that you gave it to her
她说那是你送的
That night that you planned to go clear
在你决定把事情理清的那天晚上送给她的
Did you ever go clear
你真的把所有事情都理清了吗
Ah the last time we saw you
上次我们见你时
you looked so much older
你看起来苍老多了
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
你那件出了名的蓝雨衣，连肩部也残破了
You'd been to the station to meet every train
以前，你常去车站，等遍每一趟火车
And you came home without Lili Marlene
但是你心中的那位莉莉玛莲始终没有出现
And you treated my woman
你还把我的女人
to a flake of your life
当作你生命中的一段插曲
And when she came back she was nobody's wife
当她从你那里回来时，依然是独身一人
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
我想像着你嘴里衔着玫瑰专门窃取爱情
One more thin gypsy thief
又是一个手法并不高明的吉普赛小偷
Well I see Jane's awake --
噢，简现在还醒着
She sends her regards
她让我代她向你问好
And what can I tell you my brother my killer
可我还能说些什么呢，我的兄弟，我的情敌
What can I possibly say
我还能再说些什么呢
I guess that I miss you
或许诉说思念
I guess I forgive you
或许谈谈谅解
I'm glad you stood in my way
告诉你我很高兴你曾走进我生命
If you ever come by here for Jane or for me
如果你以后来作客，看看简，或是我
Your enemy is sleeping and his woman is free
我要让你知道，我对你的敌意已然沉睡已对那个放不下的女人释然
Yes and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
其实，我要感谢你，是你拂去了她眼中的烦恼
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
而我，以为那天生如此，而并没有走入她内心深处
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
简来过，带着你的一缕发结
She said that you gave it to her
她说那是你送的
That night that you planned to go clear
在你决定把一切事情理清的那天晚上
Sincerely,
你的挚友
