Laurie Anderson - For Lou Reed- Letter to Neighbors lyrics

To our neighbors:

What a beautiful fall! Everything
Shimmering and golden and
All that incredible soft light
Water surrounding us

Lou and I have spent a lot of
Time here in the past few years
And even though we’re city people
This is our spiritual home

Last week I promised Lou to
Get him out of the
Hospital and come home to Springs
And we made it!

Lou was a tai chi master and spent
His last days here being happy
And dazzled by the beauty and power
And softness of nature he died
On Sunday morning looking at the trees
And doing the famous 21 form
Of tai chi with just his musician
Hands moving through the air

Lou was a prince and a fighter
And I know his songs of
The pain and beauty in the
World will fill many people
With the incredible joy he felt for
Life long live the beauty
That comes down and through and
Onto all of us laurie Anderson

His loving wife and eternal friend
