Felton Jarvis - Snowbird lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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
