G G aug
Floating down, through the skies
Em C
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
G
But in the space between the heavens
D
and the corner in some foreing field
C add9
I had a dream,
C
I had a dream
Lyrics
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 the dream.
Take heed.
Pink Floyd - The Gunner's Dream
Music video for "The Gunner's Dream" By Pink Floyd, from The Final Cut, 1983. The audio is from the actual cd, instead of a 20 year old vhs, so it sounds better.

album The final cut - a requiem for a post war dream (1983)
Officialy an album by Pink Floyd, in fact a solo album by Roger Waters. To promote this album, a video (with 4 songs) of 18 minutes was released. "The gunner's dream" is the first part of it.

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.

And hold on to the dream.
