What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Beneath this snowy mantle, cold and clean
2
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
3
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
4
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
5
When I was young my heart was young then too
6
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
7
But now I feel such emptiness within
8
For the thing that I want most in life is the thing I can't win
9
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
10
And take the snow back with you, where it came from on that day
11
The one I love forever is untrue
12
And if I could, you know that I would, fly away with you
13
The breeze along the river seems to say
14
That she'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
15
So little snowbird take me with you when you go
16
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
