Afhanistan, place of love and death.

lyrics

Afghanistan

You laid me down in the green grass low
Behind the hill where the poppies grow
You touched my body You made me glow
Behind the hill where the poppies grow
Your touch it made me cry that night
Said our love was worth the fight
You touched my body You made it glow
Behind the hill where the poppies grow

I held you tight through that dark night
Our secret love it seemed so right
You touched my body You made me glow
Behind the hill where the poppies grow

The soldiers came, They came so quick
We had no time at all to think
You had touched my body You made me glow
Behind the hill where the poppies grow

I remember now, The dry red earth
Your words of love, died in the dirt
You had touched my body
You made me glow
Behind the hill where the poppies grow

They left me there Just holding you
They said they’d be back, “We’ll come get you”
I had to flee, keep real low
I did not know where to go
You had touched my body, I loved you so
Behind that hill where the poppies grow

I have no hope, I have no love
Sometimes I pray, To a god above
My body swells, Only time will tell
If our love that night, Will be made right
You touched my body, But now I cry,
Behind the hill where the poppies die
