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
