Red Cardinal - Molly Johnson

Red cardinal way up on the wire

Little bird you caught my eye

Turn my head the way you sing

Out of reach of everything

I would surely be remiss

If I did not ask you this

What's it like to be up there

To live your life without a care

Red cardinal what a curious sight

Wish I may and come what might

Something must have sent you here

Cause outta nowhere you appear

Is it easy there for you

And could you tell me what you do

When rainy days prove you wrong

Do you still sing your scarlet song

Red cardinal if it's all the same

Please allow me to explain

Goodbye blackbird so long crow

Red cardinal I love you so

Red cardinal high up on a wire

Little bird you bring a smile

No one here but you and me

Little one you look so free

If I could I'd fly so high

Cover every inch of sky

Over here and over there

On a wing and on a prayer

Red cardinal what more can I say

Come to me another day

Goodbye blackbird so long crow

Red cardinal I love you so

Red cardinal I love you so

Red cardinal I love you so

Red cardinal I love you so
