Cardinal Bird

Cardinal bird without a crown A pauper to the town From his mouth a soothing sound The whole world's upside down Cardinal bird sits in the trees Listen as he sings Not another soul to see He's singing to the leaves Perched upon the lowest branch He knows just where he stands Singing to his fallen fans The ghosts of seasons passed Ooh it's peaceful despite All the hatred we cry Cardinal bird Cardinal bird he flys away Leaves me here to stay Yet the melody he sang Still haunts me to this day As I watched him through the trees Flying in the breeze He instilled a memory As he takes his leave Ooh it's peaceful despite All the hatred we cry Ooh I need you tonight Could you teach me to fly? Cardinal bird Ooh it's peaceful despite All the hatred we cry Ooh I need you tonight Could you teach me to fly? Cardinal bird Cardinal bird sits in the trees Listen as he sings Not another soul to see He's singing to the leaves
