Nina Simone - Poppies Lyrics

Font:

Align:

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 youre 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 whos 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...,
