Snowbird


Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean 
The unborn grass lies waiting 
for its coat to turn to green 
The snowbird sings a 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 that I want most in life 
Is the thing 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
