Poppy Day
Tattoos on his forearms
Faded behind his liver spots and gold watch strap
His son never visits him
Since they fell out years ago and its as simple as that
Keeps his good blazer for poppy day
Umbrella for a gun and his hair 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 winter snow
Keeps his good blazer for poppy day
Umbrella for a gun and his hairs so grey
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?

Día de la Amapola
Tatuajes en sus antebrazos
Desvanecidos detrás de sus manchas de hígado y correa de reloj de oro
Su hijo nunca lo visita
Desde que pelearon hace años y es tan simple como eso
Guarda su buen saco para el día de la amapola
Paraguas por si acaso y su cabello tan gris
Perdido en un mundo de sus pensamientos mientras se aleja
Desea que sus nietos tal vez vengan solo por un día
Tal vez su hijo pueda enterrar el hacha, ¿qué dices?
Su esposa tuvo un ataque al corazón
Cuando su caballo ganó el Nacional hace tres o cuatro años
Finge que no la extraña
Pero siempre mantiene su camino libre de nieve invernal
Guarda su buen saco para el día de la amapola
Paraguas por si acaso y su cabello tan gris
Desea que sus nietos tal vez vengan solo por un día
Tal vez su hijo pueda enterrar el hacha, ¿qué dices?
Tal vez su hijo pueda enterrar el hacha, ¿qué dices?
