Snowbird ( snowbird )
Come fly away! ( come fly away! )
With me! ( with me! ) with me! ( with me! )
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean,
The unborn gra** lies waitin' for it's 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 i want the 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 i that would fly away with you!
The breeze along the river seems to say,
That she'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!
< repeat last two verses >
If i could, you know that i would fly away with you!
Snowbird ( snowbird )
Come fly away! ( come fly away! )
With me! ( with me! ) with me! ( with me! )
Little snowbird ( snowbird )
Come fly away! ( come fly away! )
With me! ( with me! ) with me! ( with me! )
Little snowbird ( snowbird )
Come fly away . . .
