Snowbird
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 grass 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 . . .
