Poppy-red

Lyrics

Here my love used to lie
 Like a pearl by my side
 Everything sweet, everything so complete
 Now my love makes her bed
 Where poppies grow over her head
 There in a field, there in a field
 Warm and red - as the blood she shed
 Now everything is Poppy-red
 Poppy-red, everything is Poppy red
 In loving memory
 everything is Poppy red
 Poppy red, everything is Poppy red
 The gifts she gave to me
 in loving memory, memory
 She said, There's a wind that blows
 And where it blows from, who knows
 And if I don't go, I'll never know peace of mind'
 Now everything's upside down
 Everything's turned around
 She was my first, she was my last
 She was my friend until the end
 Now everything is Poppy-red
 Poppy-red, everything is Poppy red
 In loving memory
 everything is Poppy red
 Poppy red, everything is Poppy red
 The gifts she gave to me
 in loving memory, memory
 I'll always see her that way
 Dressed in the red, white and grey
 Slowly she turned, slowly she turned
 Into the rain and walked away
 Now everything is Poppy-red
 Poppy-red, everything is Poppy red
 In loving memory
 everything is Poppy red
 Poppy red, everything is Poppy red
 the gifts she gave to me
 in loving memory, memory
