Snowbird

Beneath this snowy mantle cold
and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for
its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings
the song he always sings
And speaks to me of
flowers that will bloom again in
spring

When I was young my heart was young
then, too
Anything that it would tell me,
that's the thing that I would do
But now I
feel such emptiness within
For the thing that
I want most in life's the thing that I can't
win

CHORUS
Spread your tiny wings and
fly away
And take the snow back with
you
Where it came from on that day
The one
I love forever is untrue
And if I could you
know that I would
Fly away with you

The
breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll
only break my heart again should I decide to
stay
So, little snowbird, take me with you
when you go
To that land of gentle breezes
where the peaceful waters
flow

CHORUS


Yeah, if I could I
know that I would fl-y-y-y-y away with you
