[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Now everything is poppy-red, poppy-red
Everything is poppy-red
In loving memory
Oh everything is poppy-red, poppy-red
Everything is poppy-red
The gifts she gave to me
In loving memory, memory

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Now everything is poppy-red, poppy-red
Everything is poppy-red
In loving memory
Oh everything is poppy-red, poppy-red
Everything is poppy-red
The gifts she gave to me
In loving memory, memory, memory

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Now everything is poppy-red, poppy-red
Everything is poppy-red
In loving memory
Oh everything is poppy-red, poppy-red
Everything is poppy-red
The gifts she gave to me
In loving memory, memory, memory, memory
