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
