Lyrics for Veteran's Day Poppy

I cry but I can't buy Your Veteran's Day poppy It don't get me high It can only make me cry It can never grow another Son like the one who warmed me my days After rain and warmed my breath My life's blood Screamin' empty she crys It don't get me high It can only make me cry Your Veteran's Day poppy.
