Leonard by Me

“A European among the whites”


It’s four in the morning, the end of July,
my thoughts are jivin’ aroun’,
Your Famous Blue Raincoat conceals the li-ie
remember You well, and Suzanne.

We used to talk much, though We’ve never met,
You’re famous, I’s one of your fans,
I know your songs well, but I’ve never sung them
to the crowd, but just to my friends.

Hey You, I see you down.
Hey You, I know all that You’ve done.
Yes You, I see You run
in the rain, in the sun.

I knew your songs well, but as New York as well
being changed forever by fear,
there’s no Chelsea Hotel, just a large hole to tell
that The End is close to here.

You’re The Last Year’s Man, You’re The Partisan,
You can banish the dark knights of the nights,
so sing your songs well from that broken hill,
You’re ‘opean among the whites!

Hey You, I see You cry.
Hey You, I say goodbye.
Yes You, I’m gone
in the Moon, in the Sun.
