The Letter Home - Elvis Costello/Brodsky Quartet[00:00:00]

Written by：Mac Manus/Paul Cassidy/Ian Belton[00:00:00]

Care of St ignatus house willoughby drive[00:00:07]

Parramatta new south wales[00:00:13]

This fifth day of July[00:00:16]

In the year of our Lord[00:00:19]

Nineteen hundred and thirty five[00:00:23]

Why must I always apologize[00:00:33]

Every time that I sit down to write[00:00:39]

Through my own fault I may find[00:00:45]

You're no longer living at this address[00:00:51]

Please excuse the lack of news[00:00:57]

The feeling of strange privilege[00:01:03]

For the hour of trial in these times of distress[00:01:09]

Mean more than years imprisoned by etiquette[00:01:16]

I can remember when we were children[00:01:31]

Though I could never imagine this day[00:01:39]

Your brother told me we'd live forever[00:01:45]

I'll go one better I heard myself say[00:01:53]

And it seems so strange now that he's gone[00:01:59]

To recall all these games[00:02:03]

Though the years have divided us[00:02:06]

Friendships have strained and broken[00:02:11]

Oh by the way how's that girl that you wed[00:02:16]

I hated you then but I'm over the worst of it[00:02:25]

I can't come home I might as well say[00:02:35]

Life is short I shall not write again[00:02:43]
