I saw the sign or an omen
On the branches, in the morning
It was right after I
Lost a friend without warning

Words unsaid
Scarlet-red

Cardinal
Are you bringing me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you telling me I'm on somebody's mind?
Don't leave me behind

I took a walk in the city
To clear my head for a moment
Turned my collar to the wind
On the street, it was blowin'

And there he was
Above my head
Cardinal
Are you bringing me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you telling me I'm on somebody's mind?
Don't leave me behind

Are you just watchin' and waitin' for spring?
Or do you have some kind of magic to bring?
(Pretty bird)
Are you just watchin' and waitin' for spring?
(Why? Wait)
Or do you have some kind of magic to bring?
(Pretty bird)
Are you just watchin' and waitin' for spring?
Or do you have some kind of magic?
