What is the meaning of the following sentence? TKS.

anything that it would tell me, that`s the thing that I would do

-------------
CONTEXT

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

He means he was able to "follow his heart" i.e. be lead by his emotions rather than his intellect.

Now he's lost his love, and his heart is broken.
