Elvis Presley - Snowbird lyrics

(words & music by gene maclellan) Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn gra** lies waiting For its coat to turn to green The snowbird sings a 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 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 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
