Neil Young - A Letter Home Intro lyrics

Hi mom! Hey, it’s great to be able to talk to you Ah, I haven’t been able to talk to you in really a long time and ah, my friend Jack has got this box that I can talk to you from So I’d like to be able to send you this message and tell you how much I love you and also tell you that I think you should start talking to daddy again. Since you’re both there together there’s no reason not to talk And also, um, you know how we used to watch the weather all the time on TV, and we used to know what was happening, ah, you know up there in Winnipeg And ah, well I met this guy named Al and he’s, um, he’s the weatherman now for the whole planet If you can imagine that, and ah, he’s uh, sometime’s not popular because, uh, this is very strange but, you know people turn on the weatherman When the weather is gonna be bad, they actually turn on the weatherman and uh, say bad things about him and put him down So, so uh, things haven’t been that great lately, uh you know, day by day is really good, uh, you know most of the time but every once in a while all hell breaks loose, mom and the whole thing is just like nothing I’ve ever seen before and it, it seems to be happening everywhere So ah, you know if you’re in there, everywhere all the time All around the whole globe, around earth So you know, even though Al’s forecasts are good he gets in trouble So ah, you know I always know we used to watch the weather forecast together so I thought I’d tell you about that and ah, I miss you And I know that ah, I-I know that ah, you know I’d like you to say hello to Ben for me Ah and, tell him that you know that I’ll be around, ah, I’ll be there eventually. Ah, not for a while though, I still have a lot of work to do here And ah, and so I love you, and ah I hope eveybody’s feeling good up there and don’t forget to talk to daddy, bye!
