A folky, gentle ballad with lyrics that seem to convey a "let's live for today" type message, best summed up by somewhat bucolic lines like
Now look and see the lilac tree
The lily pond, the skylark's song
The open air but no one cares
If branches live and die out there
Unfortunately, this being early Bernie we get a clunker like this repetitive stanza:
Look up little brother
Can you see the clover
Oh sorry but it's over
Now there's concrete and no clover
Despite a decent enough melody, and although the sentiment of the song gets across, this remains one of Elton's less memorable selections.
