I Meant To Do My Work TodayI meant to do my work todayBut a brown bird sang in the apple tree I know that one too And a buttefly flitted across 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 grove 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 My mother died when I was born I live with my father on our own And we had a cottage where we'd go And he died too, now I'm alone |
