Lyrics Snowbird (Alternative Version) - Lynn Anderson

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

When I was young, my heart was young then, too
And 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's 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

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 me with you, when you go
To that land of gentle breezes, where the peaceful waters flow

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

Yeah, if I could, I know that I would, fly away with you
