Snowbird Lyrics
Snowbird - Val Doonican
Beneath its 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 would'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 the 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 you know
That I would fly away with you
