Roger Waters - Southampton Dock Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • They disembarked in 45
  • And no one spoke
  • And no one smiled
  • There were too many spaces in the line
  • And gathered at the cenotaph
  • They all agreed with hand on heart
  • To sheath the sacrificial knives
  • But now
  • She stands upon Southampton dock
  • With her handkerchief
  • And her summer frock
  • Clings To her wet body in the rain
  • In quiet desperation
  • Knuckles white upon the slippery reins
  • She bravely waves the boys goodbye again
  • Ooo, Maggie what have you done?
  • And still the dark stain spreads between
  • Their shoulder blades
  • A mute reminder
  • Of the poppy fields and graves
  • When the fight was over
  • We spent what they had made
  • But
  • In the bottom of our hearts
  • We felt the final cut

    • Report error in lyric
