Intro: A C#m Bm E7

A                 C#m          Bm
Beneath its snowy metal golden face
    E7                                                A
the unborn grass lies waiting for its gold to turn to green
                     C#m            Bm
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
    E7                                           A
and speaks to me of flowers that'll bloom again in spring

When I was young my heart was youngen too
anything that it would tell me is the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
for the thing that I want most in life, the thing that I can't win

*Chorus*
A                C#m           Bm
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
    E7                                                      A
and take the snow back with you, where it came from on that day
               C#m      Bm
What I love forever is untrue
    E7                                            A
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 pieceful waters flow

*Chorus*

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
and take the snow back with you, where it came from on that day
What I love forever is untrue
and if I could you know that I would fly away with you
Yeah, if I could you know that fly away with you
