Snowbird
by Gene MacLellan
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.
And 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 cam from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue.
And if I could you know that I would fly awy 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 when you go.
To that land of gentale breezes where the peaceful waters flow.
Spread your tiny wings and fly away.
And take the snow back with you where it cam from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue.
And if I could you know that I would fly awy 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 when you go.
To that land of gentale breezes where the peaceful waters flow.
Yeah if I could you know that I would fly
Away with you.
