Floating down through the clouds

memories come rushing up to meet me now

in the space between the heavens

and in the corner os 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 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

somwhere 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

whats done is done

we cannot just write off his final scene

take heed of his dream

take heed

Daddy's flown across the ocean

Leaving just a memory

Snapshot in the family album

Daddy what else did you leave for me?

Daddy, what'd'ja leave behind for me?!?

 

There is a heavy metal band Korn, that did an amazing cover of this song!
