Songtexte Poppies - Remastered - 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 from old, something real
In a field of poppies
Poppies, red poppies, red poppies, red poppies, red poppies
