Famous Blue Raincoat是Cohen写给一位朋友的信，一场男人之间的对话和感情交流。娓娓道来一段往事，纽约的十二月，喧闹的克林顿大街，远走他乡的朋友，生 命中的女人，纠缠不清的爱恋，彼此伤害过，最后是原谅。信中语句大致反映出一段发生在3个好友之间的感情故事。歌中透出的情与仇，爱与恨，伤心和欢乐，无 奈与坚持，过去和现在，一切的情结都好似一场浓得化不开的雾。
Artist：Leonard Cohen
Song：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 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
