Snow Is Gone Lyrics

birds beneath my window dustying their wings upon the lawn
Hear 'em in the morning light a last amen to a migratory song
they're never looking round for meâ€"their eyes are on the sky or the ground below
I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know

hello blackbird
hello starling
winter's over
be my darling
a long time coming
but now the snow is gone x 2

you were beautiful when I first saw your feathers and confectionery airs
the earth lit up and promised you the stars but you really didn't care
I sang in exultation i pulled the stopsâ€"you always looked a little bored
I'm singing for the love of itâ€"have mercy on the man who sings to be adored

hello blackbird
hello starling
winter's over
be my darling
long time coming Josh Ritter - Snow Is Gone - http://motolyrics.com/josh-ritter/snow-is-gone-lyrics.html
but now the snow is gone

I'm underneath your window nowâ€"it's long after the birds have gone to roost
I'm not sure if I'm singing for the love of it or for the love of you
I've flown a long way honey oh hear my confession then I'll go
I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know

hello brown one
hello blue one
last night's feathers
exchanged for new ones

hello blackbird
hello starling
winter's over
be my darling

long time coming
but now the snow is gone x 2

so long.....
