Snowbird Lyrics

Beneath its snowy mantle cold and cleanThe unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to greenThe snowbird sings the song he always singsAnd speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
When I was young, my heart was young, then tooAnd anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would doBut now I feel such emptiness withinFor the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win
Spread your tiny wings and fly awayAnd take the snow back with you where it came from on that dayThe one I love forever is untrueAnd if I could, you know that I would fly away with you The breeze along the river seems to sayThat he'll only break my heart again should I decide to staySo, little snowbird, take me with you when you goTo that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
Spread your tiny wings and fly awayAnd take the snow back with you where it came from on that dayThe one I love forever is untrueAnd if I could, you know that I would fly away with youYeah, if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
