Lyrics - Snowbird by Elvis Presley

(words & music by gene maclellan)
Beneath this snowy mantle cold 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 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
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
That she’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
