Snowbird - Anne Murray

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 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 he'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 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

As far as you know, you will make the distance Even if everything is falling down But don't lose that vision And don't lose your courage Until you are standing right here with me now I want you, to stand up and fight every moment with me For the truth, it's your love Your destiny that I see In my shoes, so tell me when do you wanna be free? Only you can tell me And high on emotion, has been a killer for days It's wearing you out until you slowly fade Where is that needle, or that damaging blade? It's cutting you up until it empties your gauge I want you, to stand up and fight every moment with me For the truth, it's your love Your destiny that I see In my shoes, so tell me when do you wanna be free? Only you can tell me Hold on, hold that tight Colors on or color blind Talking how sweet the ride Dumb is gone into your life I, I want you, to stand up and fight every moment with me For the truth, it's your love Your destiny that I see In my shoes, so tell me when do you wanna be free? Only you can tell me When do you wanna be I, I want you, to stand up and fight every moment with me For the truth, it's your love Your destiny that I see In my shoes, so tell me when do you wanna be free? When do you wanna be free? When do you wanna be free? When do you wanna be free? When do you wanna be free?

I've got you now, I've got your soul Today has arrived, coming down Let's take you home, it's been too long We've seen some time This moment now we live, it's yours and mine 'Cause all the highs and all the lows won't make me run won't make me go Every day that we're together we learn to love a little better And if you stop then I can go And if I'm blind your light will glow As long as we're together we'll know we're home There's that smile to change your day Last for a while Come on now Take me away 'Cause all the highs and all the lows won't make me run won't make me go Every day that we're together we learn to love a little better And if you stop then I can go And if I'm blind your light will glow As long as we're together we'll know we're home We're home (we're home) We're home (we're home) We're home (we're home) We're home (we're home) 'Cause all the highs and all the lows won't make me run won't make me go Every day that we're together we learn to love a little better And if you stop then I can go And if I'm blind your light will glow As long as we're together we'll know 'Cause all the highs and all the lows won't make me run won't make me go Every day that we're together we learn to love a little better And if you stop then I can go And if I'm blind your light will glow As long as we're together we'll know we're home We're home

I know a man who lives under his covers Uh uh uh uh uh uh Lost his mind from the TV Now he's playing God And somebody told him that he was no good at Uh uh uh uh uh uh He's talking out of the left side of his mouth And he won't follow These lines he's drawn for him And he don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here every night Three little boys dress up in the morning Uh uh uh uh uh uh Come back home from the school yard Talkin' bout Love But on this occasion the boys feel the same Uh uh uh uh uh uh Something's holding them back there I bet it was their mom And they won't follow These lines he's drawn for them Cause they don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what they see here every night And we both know That people change When truth's not part of their lives I've seen the love in their eyes Don't say goodbye Goodbye I know a man who wakes up in the evening Uh uh uh uh uh uh Lost his mind from the TV Now he's blaming God And somebody told him that he's good for nothing Uh uh uh uh uh uh Now he screen prints American T-shirts Through the night And he won't follow These lines they've drawn for him And he don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here Every night

Am I lonely? Oh it feels like when the day breaks Am I wanted inside? Say goodbye, do you feel liked? Wave goodbye, and the heart's not in love We'll be taught We'll be tall Am I lonely? Cause it feels right If I look up, can you keep me alive? Wave goodbye to your family and friends Those lost ants And your eyes bleed when you see Cause nothing works inside We'll be taught We'll be tall
