Lyrics of Southampton Dock by Pink Floyd
verse
They disembarked in '45
And no one spoke and no one smiled
There were too many spaces in the line
verse
Gathered at the cenotaph
All agreed with hand on heart
To sheath the sacrificial knives
verse
(Thats right)
But now
She stands upon Southampton dock
verse
With her handkerchief
And her summer frock
Clings to her wet body in the rain
verse
In quiet desperation knuckles
White upon the slippery reins
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again
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
Writer(s): George Roger Waters
