Black Poppies lyrics

Black poppy sleeps a dreamless night

In summer shade of moony light

Hazy veils of clouds loom low

Like warm kittens close to the earth

Underground bodies stir with no sound

No one to hear them under the ground

Ghost horse and stillborns turn in their cradles

Silvery meadow murmurs the song of

Tiny glow worms glowing

Rain starts her shimmery descent

Onto the old leathery skin of the farm

Black poppy sleeps a dreamless night
