Floating down
through the clouds
Memories come
rushing up
to meet me now
But 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 seservice
when you'er
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
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
