Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
  The unborn grass lies waitin' for its coat to turn to green
  The snowbird 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
  She'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
  So little snowbird take it with you when you go
  To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful water flows
  Spread your tiny wings...
  If I could you know that I would fly away with you
