Ann Murray – Snow Bird Lyrics

Snow Bird
Beneath the snowy mantle brave and clean,
The unborn grass lies waiting for it's 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 and true
Everything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do.
But now I feel such emptiness within,
For the things that I want most in life are the things that I can't win.

(Chorus)
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.

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag: Yeah if I could you know that I would fly....away with you.

    I just want to hear this song. I used to play it on the piano when I was a child and I sang it to my baby brother. I don't remember all the words or the tune but since we have recently reconnected I would like to learn the words and tune again, it used to quieten him so. It was a peaceful song and even though I don't play the piano anymore I would love to be able to hear it and at least attempt to sing it to my little brother to put him at peace with all that is going on. Can someone PLEASE help me?
