Richard Thompson - Poppy-Red lyrics

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
