I lay you to rest in the poppies
I hope you dream beautiful dreams
I reflect on the day as you sleep
My wishes touch the skies like the trees
That you'd wake up soon from your dreams
But you're eyes are lifeless like the dead seas
My dreamer, you are unaware of how short life seems
I reflect on these days as you sleep
And though I will see you again I still weep
I cry beside the dreamer in the poppies
So short is life to be ended with dreams
I cry beside the dreamer as they sleep
My cries travel to the seas
My tears trickle down my cheeks into streams
I am heartbroken for the dreamer in the poppies
So short is life to be ended with dreams
I reflect on times ahead as you sleep
Though I will see you again I still weep
