Poppies (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

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

Poppies, red poppies, red poppies, red poppies…, red poppies…,
red poppies…., red poppies…, red poppies…, red poppies…,

Poppies (Letra)

Long long ago in China I’m told
To England was traded some tea
And so sealed the fate
In pieces of eight
All England and all of the world
Yeah…poppies
When soon his majesty sent soldiers and thieves
To India searching for gold
Instead from the ground
Some magic they found
Something far better I’m told
Yeah…poppies
Yeah…poppies

And now this story told from days of our own
When gossamer doggies ran ran
They’d patiently wait
With pieces of eight
So everybody could smile one more time
Yeah…poppies
Yeah…poppies
