Poppies |
| A child ran through the meadow on a sun drenched summer day |
| And then he stopped his play |
| And kneeled in a field of poppies |
| A man walked through my ghetto on a humid summer day |
| And then he stopped to pay and he dealed in a field of poppies |
| Oh, flower of forgetfulness, just an hour away to the moon |
| Take a deep breath if you are reaching for truth |
| While you’re in the stupor |
| The door knocks and death takes another youth |
| Poppies, red poppies…, red poppies… |
| A boy I used to know, a boy I used to know who’s laughter rang to the skies |
| Was a joy to behold |
| Then I looked into his eyes, a look so cold, a boy who (rose on (???sorry)) |
| In a field of poppies |
| Poppies, red poppies, red poppies, red poppies…, red poppies…, |
| Red poppies…, red poppies…, red poppies…, red poppies…, |
