[Intro]
C Dm G C Dm G C
[Verse]
Dm
Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean
G C
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
C Dm
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
G C
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
[Verse]
Dm
When I was young my heart was young then, too
G C
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
C Dm
But now I feel such emptiness within
G C
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win
[Verse]
Dm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
G C
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
C Dm
The one I love forever is untrue
G C
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
[Verse]
Dm
The breeze along the river seems to say
G C
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
C Dm
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go
G C
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
[Verse]
Dm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
G C
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
C Dm
The one I love forever is untrue
G C
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
G C
Yeah, if I could, I know that I would fly away with you
