"Southampton Dock"
Song

"Southampton Dock" is a song from Pink Floyd's 1983 album, The Final Cut.[1][2] In World War II, many soldiers departed from Southampton to fight against the Germans. In the eighties, Southampton was again used as a departure base, this time for the Falklands War. The song describes a woman who waves the soldiers "Goodbye again".
