I Meant to Do My Work Today (A Day in the Country) - Elton John (艾尔顿·约翰)

I meant to do my work today

The brown bird sang in the apple tree

I know that's why you do

And a butterfly flittered accross the field

And all the leaves were calling me

And the Buttercups nodded their smiling heads

Greeting the bees who came to call

And I asked the lizard the time of day

As he sunned himself on a moss grown wall

And the wind went sighing over the land

Tossing the grasses to and fro

And a rainbow held out its shining hand

So what could I do but laugh and go
