Ferlin Husky Snowbird Lyrics

Snowbird Lyrics

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean



The unborn grass lies waitin' 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



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



So little snowbird take it with you when you go



To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful water flows



Spread your tiny wings...



If I could you know that I would fly away with you
