Poppy-red Lyrics - Sweet Warrior - Richard Thompson

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

Poppy-red, everything is Poppy red 

In loving memory

Poppy red, everything is Poppy red
