C Em Dm

Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean

G7 C

The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green

Em Dm

The snowbird sings the song he always sings

G7 C

And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

Em Dm

When I was young my heart was young then too

G7 C

And anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do

Em Dm

But now I feel such emptiness within

G7 C

For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win

Em Dm

Spread your tiny wings and fly away

G7 C

And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day

Dm

The one I love forever is untrue

G7 C

And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

Em Dm

The breeze along the river seems to say

G7 C

That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay

Dm

So little snowbird take me with you when you go

G7 C

To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

Em Dm

Spread your tiny wings and fly away

G7 C

And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day

Dm

The one I love forever is untrue

G7 C

And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

G7 C

Yeah if I could you know that I would fly away with you
