POPPY
(R.E. Broughton)

Edgar Broughton Band


I laid on a poppy, it laid on me
A lot of thinkin', an' did it all for free
I thought of you, I thought of you

I wanted to swim in the river
But I saw what they had done
All the fish are dyin' in there
And we ain't got no sun
I thought of you, I thought of you

I wandered in a meadow
All that rubbish there
Look at them at the plastic picnic
Talkin' bout the length of my hair
I thought of you, I thought of you

I laid on a poppy, it laid on me
A lot of thinking, an' did it all for free
I thought of you, I thought of you

I'm gonna take a walk in the country
Take a look at that big blue sky
Take a breath of that clean spring air
Before they say die
I thought of you, I thought of you
