Like the Birds

It’s coming down like cats and dogs Like it will never stop The pounding on my rooftop Makes my head want to pop It’s fall again, it’s setting in The birds have taken wing They won’t be back ‘til it dries up Sometime in the spring The autumn showers have started now I hope they go away But that seems like a pipe dream I think they’re here to stay The birds are simple creatures But they’re smart enough to go Their instincts tell them what to do What do they know that I don’t know? I think I’ll take their good advice And pack up all my things And see you back here when it’s warm I’m heading for Palm Springs
