Cenotaph / Letter from Amsterdam |
| Snow hard up against my doorway |
| And it’s falling twice as fast |
| Funny I was just thinking of you my friend |
| How long you were gonna last |
| Driving those blizzards cross Europe |
| Snow chains on you back |
| 64 feet of mobile thunder, leaving a ten wheel track |
| It’s good to hear from you, go easy when you can |
| My day is better for your letter from Amsterdam |
| I stand alone by the Cenotaph |
| Where the unknown soldier lies |
| And it’s somewhere out there that you are |
| This freedom angel died |
| To save us from depression |
| Today I look around, boys our age and younger |
| I fear we let them down |
| It’s good to hear from you, go easy when you can |
| My day is better for your letter from Amsterdam |
| The town square’s disappearing |
| It drifts up to my knees |
| Midnight silence deafening |
| And my feet begin to freeze |
| Is it because we don’t remember? |
| We cannot understand? |
| But me and the unknown soldier |
| Got your letter from Amsterdam |
