Poppy Day Lyrics:
Tattoos on his forearms
Fade behind the liver spots and gold watch strap
His son never visits him
Since they fell out years ago and it's as simple as that
Keeps his good blazer for Poppy Day
Umbrella for a gun and his hair's so grey
Lost in a world of his thoughts as he turns away
Wishes that his grandkids would maybe just come for a day
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet what you say?
His wife had a heart attack
When his horse won the National three or four years ago
Pretends he doesn't miss her
But he always keeps his pathway clear of the rain and snow
Keeps his good blazer for Poppy Day
Umbrella for a gun and his hair's so grey
Lost in a world of his thoughts as he turns away
Wishes that his grandkids would maybe just come for a day
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet, what you say?
Maybe his son could bury the hatchet, what you say?
