Poppy-red

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, Poppy-red

In loving memory

Now everything is Poppy-red

Poppy-red, 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

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
