WCFL Hit Survey, 9-21-1970
Candida by Dawn made it to #1, but the big news was a new soft rock song by Canadian Anne Murray, "Snowbird", entering at #30 with a bullet. Snowbird happens also to be slang for "cocaine addict".
A close examination of the song’s lyrics indicates… nothing. From the looks of it the lyrics may have been written with an early version of AI, or by an eight year old.
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the 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’s the thing that I can’t win
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
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
