To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
When I was young my heart was young then too
The one I love forever is untrue
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
But now I feel such emptiness within
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
The one I love forever is untrue
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
So little snowbird take me with you, when you go
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
For the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't win
