Poppies Lyrics - Emergency Ward! - 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
