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!
