Richard Thompson - Poppy-Red - Текст песни

(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, 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
