That was one of those ever-popular dying songs. The subject has a terminal illness and is saying goodbye to the birds and so on, if I remember correctly. How could I ever have wasted my money on Clapton, etc. when I could have been buying such classics as this.

OK I looked up my birthday song and it was something by Harry Belafonte with a vaguely religious ring to it. Talk about getting off to a bad start. I was encouraged, however, to discover that I have the same birthday as Keith Richard - same day, not year, I hasten to add. Ahh the Glimmer Twins.
