French Poppies

Strong, fragile, a little wild, a lot red, they dance with the wind. Oh la la, les French poppies.

Poppies in the wind, dancing free, / Red and wild, like they’re teasing me.

Lyrics

[verse]
My favorite flower’s a French poppy,
So strong, so fragile, like my morning coffee,
Driving by those wild fields, oh gee,
To pick or not to pick, a poppy quandary.

[chorus]
Poppies in the wind, dancing free,
Red and wild, like they’re teasing me,
Leave ’em be or take ’em home?
Poppy thoughts while I roam.

[verse 2]
Douleur exquise, fancy word play,
Wanting is loving, at least for today,
Pray for peace, love, and poppies too,
Life’s a trip, who knew?

[chorus]
Poppies in the wind, dancing free,
Red and wild, like they’re teasing me,
Leave ’em be or take ’em home?
Poppy thoughts while I roam.

[outro]
[instrumental: guitar and violin, fading out]
Whispers in the breeze, poppies tease,
Laughing in the fields, at my ease.

Because gratitude is the best! All the good things: toast, poppies, Jacques Brel, and the audacity to be delighted by all of it.
