Southhampton Dock Lyrics - In The Flesh - Roger Waters

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 

Oh, 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
