Loretta Lynn - Snowbird lyrics

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn gra** lies waiting 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 [ dobro ] The breeze along the river seems to say That he'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 waters flow Spread your tiny wings... And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
