JENNIFER WARNES ~ 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, yes.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night when you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw ya, 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.
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 oh 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, yes.
And thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never really tried.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night when you planned to go clear
Sincerely, a friend

Written in Red
Red Letter Day
He still parts the Red Sea
So Blue
Bright Star, Blue Sky
Jesus took my blues away
Sing your blues away
Blue Sky
Mama Blues
Singing News Blues
Ballad of the Blue Cyclone
When I found Jesus (I lost the blues)
Green Pastures
The Purple Robe
Mr. Brown
Whiter than snow
Sea of white
In my Robe of White
That's just in my collection, and just the colors I could think up offhand.
In other news, a song lyric:
"Red can't explain the beauty of a rose
White can't tell the magic in the air when it snows
Marvelous can't half convey the grace of the King
The only word for Grace is amazing"
