Lyrics for Holly Up On Poppy

Holly up on Poppy, Canter never stop She has escaped from the world Where they bake beautiful girls Holly up on Poppy, trotting to the top She talks and banners unfurl Their secrets crayoned in swirls Everyday I have to pluck up Courage to look her in the eyes The eyes of storms Anyway I love to watch her Ride and play the alchemy That love performed, laughing Holly up on Poppy, Canter never stop She has escaped from the world Where they bake beautiful girls Holly up on Poppy, trotting to the top She talks and banners unfurl Their secrets crayoned in swirls Everytime I look at my watch I'm reminded we are poor In hours per day Every second, spent with her Is a bulging wallet overstuffed With angels pay, laughter Holly up on Poppy Holly up on Poppy Holly up on Poppy
