dottie west - snowbird lyrics
beneath that snowy mantle cold and clean
the unborn gr-ss lies waiting for it’s coat to turn to green
the snowbird sings the song he always sings
and he 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
spread your tiny wings and fly away
and take the snow back with you where you found it on that day
the one i love forever is untrue
and if i could you know that i would fly away with you
[ guitar ]
the breeze along the river seems to say
he’ll only break my heart again should i decide to stay
little snowbird take me with you when you go
to that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
yes spread your tiny wings…
yes if i could you know that i would fly away with you
