Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean 
The unborn grass 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 


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 


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 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 


And if I could you know 
that I would fly away with you
