Beneath this 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

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 

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
