lyrics

The poppies in the fields of France are still as red
Everybody knows we’re all going to wind up dead
So where’s the point in striving in trying to go on
Where’s the point in anything where’s the point in any of these songs

It’s getting hard to keep heart and soul together
It’s getting hard to tell life and death apart
You keep saying nothing lasts forever
But if one thing will it’s the hope in my heart

Hardly a day goes by without you on my mind
Hardly a night goes by without you in my dreams
I wake up sometimes screaming not knowing what I’ll find

Is this a love song or a stab in the back?
Is this affection or a heart attack?
