Cenotaph / Letter From Amsterdam Lyrics - Deltics - Chris Rea

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 

Photos 

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
