Pink Floyd Lyrics...
Southampton Dock
Album: The Final Cut
-
They disembarked in 45
-
No one spoke and no one smiled
-
There were too many spaces in the line
-
Gathered at the cenotaph
-
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 was the white upon the slippery reins
-
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again
-
-
And still the dark stain spreads between her shoulder blades
-
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves
-
And when the fight was over
-
We spent what they had made
-
But in the bottom of our hearts
-
We felt the final cut
-
-
