It's fairly straight forward, the whole album uses animals and other country-type to make observations about the world and humans. This song is literally about a weathercock, performing its simple job and pointing the way to better days. One can just imagine exiting a farm, looking up at the iron rooster, and wondering whether it is the weather controlling the cock, or the other way round.
