Just heard this song for the first time last night...blew me away. So I'm assuming the letters he found we written to the woman's house for the man who was away at war and she didn't know how to respond because he was possibly dead, so she just packed them away.
My favorite part is the "there were stars in the sky, there were bunkers on the hill and caskets to fill where he would lie, shrouded in the red, white and blue with the stripes"...wow.
It's really powerful how you don't know that the man broke her heart by dying until the end.
