"Cenotaph" lyrics

Cenotaph

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
Sixty-four 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

Letter from Amsterdam
Letter from Amsterdam
Letter from Amsterdam
Letter
Letter
Letter
Letter from Amsterdam
