"Snowbird" Lyrics

Snowbird, come fly away with me, with me

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waitin? for it's 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 I want the most in life is 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 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

The breeze along the river seems to say
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

If I could, you know that I would fly away with you
Snowbird, come fly away with me, with me
Little snowbird, come fly away with me, with me
Little snowbird, come fly away
