Snowbird

Beneath its 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

That 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

Oh, the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win

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

My mind says that I only want to be

A wanderer and just like you I’m longing to be free

But in my heart I know it's just a lie

For without her love the vision of my happiness will die

The breeze along the river seems to say

Oh, that she'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

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

Yes, if I could you know that I would fly

Away with you
