Lyrics - Snowbird by Presley Elvis

(words & music by
Gene
Mac
Lellan)
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waitingfor its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowersthat 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 knowthat
I would fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
That she'll only break my heart againshould
I decide to stay
So little snowbird take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezeswhere the peaceful waters flow
