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? 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 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 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? 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 While, 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 Did you ever go clear?

Some people never love Some keep a chain of withered hearts Some leave a trail of lovers Like old abandoned cars Me, I've lit a thousand candles Flame of hope at both ends Waiting for someone who Never did come back again Said a prayer And there was you You lay your cool cross Across this blistered heart You turned a light on In a corner that's always been dark You loved me when I was not kind When my soul was fire and ice You pointed out the diamonds That only felt like stones to me Said a prayer And there was you Be the last thing these eyes see When I am called from this earth Be the kiss that testifies Louder than final words Be the air I cling to when I leave Then my final prayer will be One more look, one more taste, one more breath Some people count their money Some people count their friends Some just collect their tears In pillows where all their dreams end Moments are my silver Days are my best companion Years are sweeter than dreams When every one is given To a prayer, and you Be the last thing these eyes see When I am called from this earth Be the kiss that testifies Louder than final words Be the air I cling to when I leave Then my final prayer will be One more look, one more taste, one more breath One more look, one more taste, one more breath

Man that smells good! I can't get rich; I can't make a living, But I sure do something for the neighborhood women. I wake up every morning with em knocking at my door; You can't keep 'em waiting when they're begging for more. "Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound, "You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around!" I used to think they were after me But they're just after my recipe, for Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, I said Good brown gravy, Mmm, good brown gravy Well, you can sop it with a biscuit, you can eat it from a pan, You can lick it off your fingers when it's running down your hand. If I could get a backer I could cause a big commotion. I could put it on the market, call it "Biscuit Lotion." "Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound, "You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around!" I used to think they were after me But they're just after my recipe, for Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, I said Good brown gravy, Mmm, good brown gravy Well, Granny told my momma 'bout the power that it had; Good Brown Gravy is the way she got my dad.
