Chris Rea - Cenotaph / Letter From Amsterdam Lyrics
Snow hard up against my doorwayAnd its falling twice as fastFunny I was just thinking of you my friendHow long you were gonna lastDriving those blizzards cross europeSnow chains on you back64 feet of mobile thunder, leaving a ten wheel trackIts good to hear from you, go easy when you canMy day is better for your letter from amsterdamI stand alone by the cenotaphWhere the unknown soldier liesAnd its somewhere out there that you areThis freedom angel diedTo save us from depressionToday I look around, boys our age and youngerI fear we let them downIts good to hear from you, go easy when you canMy day is better for your letter from amsterdamThe town squares disappearingIt drifts up to my kneesMidnight silence deafeningAnd my feet begin to freezeIs it because we dont remember?We cannot understand?But me and the unknown soldierGot your letter from amsterdam
