Molly Johnson Red Cardinal
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 ...
