English Lyrics

Lyrics: Poppies
Album: Unknown
Artist: Nina Simone
 

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…,
