Lynn Anderson Snowbird Lyrics

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The s_____rd 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 that I want 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 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 s_____rd take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
Spread your tiny wings...
Yeah if I could you know that I would fly away with you
