Lady What's Tomorrow Songtext / Lyric

Lady What's Tomorrow

music by Elton John
lyrics by Bernie Taupin
released on Empty Sky 1969


look up little brother
can you see the clover
no, not over there
a little bit left and over there

can you the lilac tree
the lily pond, the skylark's song
the open air where no one cares
where branches live and die out there

remember
when you were nine
and I was ten
we would run into the woods
we never will again

and Lady what's tomorrow
what's tomorrow anyway
if it's not the same as now
it's the same as yesterday

Lady what's tomorrow
will it be the same as now
will the farmer push the pen
will the writer pull the plough

look up little brother
can you see the clover
oh sorry, but it's over
there's concrete and no clover

remember
when you were nine
and I was ten
we would run into the woods
we never will, we never will again

and Lady what's tomorrow
what's tomorrow anyway
if it's not the same as now
it's the same as yesterday

Lady what's tomorrow
will it be the same as now
will the farmer push the pen
will the writer pull the plough

oh Lady what's tomorrow
