snowbird

Lyrics

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
