Snowbird Lyrics

Snowbird
Anne Murray
Written 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
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's the thing that I can't
win

CHORUS
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

CHORUS


Yeah, if I could I know that I would fl-y-y-y-y
away with you
