  Floating down    through the clouds 
Em/G                  C/G
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
           G                                    D
But in the space between the heavens and in the corner of some foreign field

  Goodbye Max    goodbye Ma
Em/G                          C/G
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car 
        G                                D                 Dsus4
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 OOON TO THE DREAM

  A place to stay (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

Night after night, going round and round my brain 
    C        D            G
His dream is driving me insaaaane

In the corner of some foreign field the gunner sleeps tonight
Em/G
What's done is done
   G                               D
We cannot just write off his final scene

Take heed of his dream         Take heed
