Lyrics:
Floating down through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
In the space between the heavens
and in the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream.
I had a dream.
Good-bye Max.
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 his dream.
Take heed.

  • Roger Waters doesn't have the greatest voice in the world, but on this track he excels.

  • my growing up has been inspired by the malwina conflict and the political ideas of mrs thatcher. so this album has been the first one of p.f., which bring me into contact with them..... just great!!

  • @wicksy68 Music is more than intelligence.

  • @KraigTheMan

    I agree..this is a Great Waters song..and a very under rated album..........Like a lot of Floyd and especially Waters solo stuff..it is hauntingly beautiful music.....

  • Waters will forever be the most intelligent musician / writer of the modern age, the messages within his lyrics ring out loud and clear but only for those who are intelligent enough to hear them.

  • I hate ... P.. F... ah.. I cannot even write name of their band..

  • @SgtAbbeyPepper

    The whole album mate....

  • Could be every one is blind ?!??!?!

    Am I the only one who thinks this album is much better than The Wall ?????

  • MUSICGASM!...

  • POETRY & MUSIC... wonderful...
