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