Snowbird
Hank Snow Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn grass 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 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 water flows [ guitar ] I was young my heart was young then too But now I feel such emptiness within Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do For the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't win Spread your tiny wings... And if I could you know that I would fly away with you |
