Snowbird Lyrics - Elvis Presley

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
