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
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 Explain Request ×
