Famous Blue Raincoat
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
Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
The night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear
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 mean lili marlene
So you treated some woman to a flake of your life
And when she got home she was nobody’s wife
I see you there with a rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well, i see jane’s awake
She send her regards

What can i tell you
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 is sleeping
I want you to know your woman is free
Thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good
So i never really tired
And jance came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
The night that you planned to go clear

Sincerely, a friend

Mavi Ünlü Yağmurluk
Saat sabahin dordu
Araligin sonu
İyi olup olmadigini ogrenmek icin yaziyorum sana
New york soguk
Ama yasadigim yeri seviyorum
Clinton caddesinde gece boyunca muzik caliyor
Yokluk icin mi yasiyorsun simdi?
Umarim bir tur kayit tutuyorsundur
Jane sacindan bir tutam getirdi
Dedi ki ona sen vermissin
Temize cikmayi planladigin gece
Temize cikabildin mi hic?
Seni son gordugumuz zaman
Cok daha yasli gorunuyordun
Meshur mavi yagmurlugunun omzu yirtilmisti
Tren garina gitmistin
Gelen her treni karsilamak icin
Ama o hic gelmedi, lili marlene’i kastediyorum
Bir kadina sanki bir hicmis gibi davrandin
Ve o eve dondugu zaman kimsenin e$i degildi
Goruyorum seni orada dislerinin arasinda bir gulle
Bir baska zayif cingene hirsiz
Goruyorum ki jane uyanmis,
Sana sevgisini yolluyor

Sana ne soyleyebilirim
Sana ne soyleyebilirim
Ne soyleyebilirim ki
Sanirim seni ozluyorum
Sanirim seni affediyorum
Yoluma ciktigin icin mutluyum
Ve eger bu taraflara ugrarsan
Jane icin ya da benim icin farketmez
Bilmeni isterim ki dusmanin uyuyor
Bilmeni isterim ki kadinin ozgur
Onun gozlerinden alip goturdugun sıkıntı icin tesekkur ederim
O sıkıntı asla gitmeyecek sanirdim
O yuzden hic bir zaman gercekten denememistim
Ve jane elinde sacindan bir tutamla geldi
Dedi ki ona sen vermissin
Temize cikmayi planladigin gece

Sevgilerimle, bir dost
