famous blue raincoat

bir şarkıdan bekleyebileceğiniz bütün hüzünlere sahip, muhteşem l. cohen şarkısı.
saat şarkıdaki gibi sabahın bilmem kaçıdır. bir şeye aklın takılır. bir şey birilerini hatırlatır. bu sırada şarkıda bir mektup yazılmaya başlar. sen hayatını gözden geçire dur. şunu mu yapsam bunu mu etsem, ne biçim adamım falan derken adamın biri gider çöllere evler kurar mavi yamurluğunu eskitir. dünyanın en hüzünlü anında arkadan jane kalkar. selam gönderir. senin dikkatin dağılır. hikayeye kulak kesilirsin. ağzın açık kalır. cohen imzasını atar. sonra sessizlik. sonra bir daha. sabaha kadar dinle dur artık.

neyse ben de böyle oldu. daha saçmalayıp bulandırmadan sözleri ve linki koyayım da size de bulaşsın.

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 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
And 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 the 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
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

Sincerely, L. Cohen"
