G5                 G5             A5
Be- neath this snowy mantle cold and clean
    D5                                                 G5 
The unborn grass lies waiting for it's coat to turn to green
                       G5            A5 
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
    D5                                               G5 
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, thats' the thing that I would do 

But now I feel such emptiness within 

For the thing I want the most in life is the thing 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. 
 
CHORUS: 
     D5                               C5 
Yea! if I could you know that I would fly ...... 
A5              G5
 ..... away with you.
