Snowbird

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

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
