Lyrics:
Floating down through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
But in the space between the heavens
and the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream.
I had a dream.
Good-bye macs,
Good-bye Ma.
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream.
A place to stay
"Oi! A real one ..."
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.

Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane.
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight.
What's done is done.
We cannot just write off his final scene.
Take heed of the dream.
Take heed.

  • one word...masterpiece

  • @CaptainDillSauce agreed

  • Why does this always bring me to tears...?

  • pink floyd has only three great song:wish you where here,comfortably numb,one more brick in the wall

  • Still just as powerful to me as it was when I heard it the first time over 20 years ago.

  • Damn right

  • possibly the best song ever, and not because its complex because it isn't, its just the way that it is sang with such feeling and so emphatically and the lyrics that reduces me more often than not to tears. Brilliant

  • Most underrated album of ALL TIME.

  • One of the few songs were a saxophone doesn't sound like it came out of the soundtrack for a pornomovie.

  • back when music was art
