I Meant To Do My Work Today (A Day In The Country)

(album: Friends - 1971)

"I meant to do my work today
The brown bird sang in the apple tree
I know that's why
And a butterfly flittered 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..."
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?
