Beneath that 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 he 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
|
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
|
And take the snow back with you where you found it on that day
|
The one I love forever is untrue
|
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
|
[ guitar ]
|
The breeze along the river seems to say
|
He'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
|
Little snowbird take me with you when you go
|
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
|
Yes spread your tiny wings...
|
Yes if I could you know that I would fly away with you
|
