[00:23.09]Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean,
[00:27.19]The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green.
[00:32.05]The snowbird sings the song he always sings,
[00:37.60]And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring.
[00:43.08]When I was young my heart was young then, too.
[00:47.42]Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do.
[00:52.18]But now I feel such emptiness within,
[00:57.98]For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win.
[01:03.14]Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
[01:07.50]And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
[01:12.99]What I love forever is untrue,
[01:18.39]And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
[01:23.85]The breeze along the river seems to say,
[01:28.37]That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay.
[01:33.71]So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go,
[01:38.68]To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow.
[01:44.39]Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
[01:49.62]And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
[01:54.19]What I love forever is untrue,
[01:59.54]And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
[02:05.62]Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
[02:10.07]And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
[02:14.89]What I love forever is untrue,
[02:20.51]And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
[02:25.64]Yeah, if I could I know that I would fly away with you.
[02:37.42]
