Red Cardinal (Johnson Molly)

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 Id 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
