Beneath it's 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
And 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 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
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
Yeah if I could
You know that I would
fly away with you
