Famous Blue Raincoat - Dax Riggs

Dax Riggs - Famous Blue Raincoat

Its four in the morning, the end of december
Im writing you now just to see if youre better
New york is cold, but I like where Im living
Theres music on clinton street all through the evening.

I hear that youre building your little house deep in the desert
Youre living for nothing now, I hope youre 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
Youd 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 nobodys wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see janes 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
Im 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

I almost always enjoy Dax's version of songs more than the original artists.

@13ouroboros13 I usually agree but I think Cohen's version is better... Better guitar arrangement, and his voice fits the mood better. Dax rocks hard/long though, and I respect that this is one of his many salutes to Cohen, but better than the original? Maybe, maybe not.

@kornfanja Go to one of his shows and you will meet him, especially if you have weed.

[kornfanja]

I want to meet this man, this god. he truly explains how i feel in every song, covered or not, his discography is like a window into my soul.

[Akhkharuinca]

Thanks again for these recordings. There are so many that I've never heard and the quality is exceptional.

[kittyfishhooks]

@13ouroboros13 yeah... Leonard Cohen was not the best vocalist... anyone did his songs better, but you'll find no better song writer.
