Birds of Passage

I wanna do what the birds of passage do

I wanna do what the birds of passage do

Drink a morning dew drop

Shower in the summer rain

Spy on cats from rooftops

And miss the early leaving train

I wish I had feathers and wings

So I could do all those birdie lil things

I wanna go where the birds of passage go

I wanna go where the birds of passage go

Make the sky my highway

Leave all worries on the ground

Not a cloud in my way

And no wish to turn around

If I had feathers and wings

I would go with those birdie lil things

I wanna do what the birds of passage do

I wanna do what the birds of passage do

Make the sky my playground

Feel the wind tickle my tail

Come fall and I’ll be southbound

On an ancient mile high trail

I wish I had feathers and wings

So I could do all those birdie lil things

I wanna go where the birds of passage go

I wanna go where the birds of passage go

Go where my heartbeat tells me

Where my wings want me to fly

Go till my old heart fails me

Tread softly through the sky

If I had feathers and wings

I would go with those birdie lil things

I wish I had feathers and wings

So I could do all those birdie lil things
