Poppies On The Table

Just a trace of a cigarette
When I kissed your mouth
Turned my world from singing truth
Now I’m inside out
All of the smoke was blinding, chocking
Now I’ve come to this
Yours was not the mouth I should’ve kissed
Door knob turning
I could be years from learning how
I turn my back on you now
How long have I been sleeping?
How long with my eyes in this song?
Wide awake but I am dreaming
At poppies on the table
A blanket in the cradle
It was all a bedtime fable
You fooled me for so long
That’s where I went wrong
Empty bottles broken,
Fish nets torn on the sidewalk
Running naked through the garden
Can you hear the neighbors talk?
When you finally came unraveled
It was the first time I felt balanced
Mine was just a heart for you to challenge
Door knob turning
I could be years from learning why
Moving on starts with goodbye
How long have I been sleeping?
How long with my eyes in this song?
Wide awake but I am dreaming
At poppies on the table
A blanket in the cradle
It was all a bedtime fable
You fooled me for so long
That’s where I went wrong
How long?
That’s where I went wrong
