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
