Snowbird
High up in the frozen hills where the icy waters rush
Lies a swooping snowbird, crying drops of blood
Up above through powdered wings her crystal feathers flow
Weeping, weeping crimson tears that stain the milk white snow
Cry one red drop for blood, one red drop of bone
One less drop for the snow to fall, burying them both
Cry one red drop for blood, one red drop of bone
One less drop for the snow to fall, burying them both
Once a horse was chased by a bull into the blinding snow
He galloped 'round and 'round in the biting coldSnowbird swooped to shelter him in the frozen glowOne touch of her white wings, his heart was turned to stoneCry one red drop for blood, one red drop of bone
One less drop for the snow to fall, burying them both
