nina simone - poppies lyrics
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…,
