Poppy

(album: Shine On - 1994)

If the mountain were not high
If the road were not so long
If the sun out in the sky
Didn't burn so hot and strong
Would you move on

Just to keep you distance
Like a mountain queen on a throne
Like an angel high in the sky
Like an eagle out there alone

Looking down from way up high
Maybe some day to come
We will be together

Poppy come down to the valley
Where the flowers are growing
Poppy come down to the valley
Where the rivers are flowing

I'll build a home in the sun
I'll plant you a tree to give shade
Our children will grow and have fun
Oh, poppy, how long must I wait before you will love me?
