lyrics

There goes the siren sound
Evacuate the playground
Barely in my sixth year
I learned to know that things could fall here

But still, we kids believe in magic
Living in the now - what else is there anyhow?
Starry-eyed stories as days unfold

Into daisy chains, and spinning leaves
Rolling in green
Just running free

Guiding in summer fields
The forest awaits my seeking
The poppy patrol begins
The saturation makes my heart sing
I know the radiance will be
The symbol of the fallen soul
The petals that settle and grace the ground like

The daisy chains, and spinning leaves
Rolling in green
Painting a scene

Things take a tuneful turn
In Midland Road a school for music
Daddy says ‘You can learn
To play piano, if you choose it.’

It may seem late, but at forty eight
I broke from my mould
Because you’re never too old
I tinkle the keys at a school up the road
Young hearts and melodies and voices fold

Into daisy chains, and spinning leaves
Rolling in green
Swaying like trees

Poppy! Poppy!
Poppy! Poppy!
Poppy! Poppy!
Poppy! Poppy!
