[C] [Em]
[F] [G]
[C]
Beneath this [Em] snowy mantle cold [Dm] and clean, [G] the unborn grass lies waiting for its cold to turn [C] to green.
The small bird sings [Em] a song he [Dm] always sings, [G] and speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again [C] in spring.
When I was young [Em] my heart was young [Dm] then too, [G] anything that it would tell me that's a thing that I [C] would do.
But now I feel [Em] such emptiness [Dm] within, for [G] the thing that I want most in life's a thing that I [C] can't win.
Spread your [Em] tiny wings and [F] fly away, [G] and take the snow back with you where it came from [C] on that day.
The one I love [Em] forever is [F] Andrew, [G] and if I could you know that I would fly away [C] with him.
The breeze [Em] along the river seems [Dm] to say that [G] she'll only break my heart again should I [C] decide to stay.
So little snowbird [Em] take me with you when [Dm] you go, to [G] that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful [C] waters flow.
Spread your [Em] tiny wings and fly [F] away, [G] and take the snow back with you where it came from on [C] that day.
The one I love [Em] forever is [F] Andrew, [G] and if I could you know that I would fly away [C] with you.
Yeah, [G] if I could you know that I would [F] fly [Dm]
away [C] with you.
[Cm] [Ab] I saw Jonah eat the whale, [Db] and Daniel put the lion's tail, [Ab] and I crossed [Eb] the volcano [Ab] on the log.
There was more of our gentle music.
