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
