Artist/Band: Burl Ives
Lyrics for Song: Snowbird
Lyrics for Album: Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head [2011]



Burl Ives - Snowbird



Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean

The unborn grass lies waiting

for its 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
