Snow Is Gone Lyrics - Josh Ritter

Birds beneath my window dusting their wings upon the lawn 

I hear them in the morning light giving last amen to a migratory song 

They're never looking round for me their eyes are on the sky or the ground below 

But I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know 

[Chorus] 

Hello blackbird hello starling 

Winter's over be my darling 

It's been a long time coming 

But now the snow is gone

You were beautiful when I first saw your feathers and confectionery airs 

Like the earth it up and promised you the stars but you really didn't care 

I sang in exultation pulled the stops you always looked a little bored 

But I'm singing for the love of it have mercy on the man who sings to be adored 

[Chorus] 

Photos 

I'm underneath your window now it's long after the birds have gone to roost 

And I'm not sure if I'm singing for the love of it or for the love of you 

But I've flown a long way honey 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 

[Chorus]
