The Gunners Dream Lyrics

The Gunners Dream 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 

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 

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 his dream 

take heed
