Snowbird 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's a thing that I can't win Spread your tiger wings and fly away And take the snowbird with you where it came from all that day But what I love forever isn't true 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 Spread your tiger wings and fly away And take the snowbird with you where it came from all that day But what I love forever isn't true And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you Yeah, if I could, you know that I would fly away with you I saw Jonah eat the whale and Daniel twist the lion's tail And I crossed over Canaan all alone I was born about 10,000 years ago Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
