|
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 |
|
Goodbye Max, goodbye 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 teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band |
|
You take her frail hand |
|
And hold on to the dream |
|
{Move it} |
|
A place to stay |
|
{A real one} |
|
Enough to eat |
|
{Gonna have to make stock} |
|
Somewhere old heros 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 |
|
No one kills the children anymore |
|
Night after night goin' round and round my brain |
|
This 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 this final scene |
|
Take heed of the dream, take heed |
