I saw a 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 blowing
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 watching and waiting for spring
Or do you have some kind of magic to bring? (pretty bird)
Are you just watching and waiting for spring
Or do you have some kind of magic to bring? (why? wait!)
(Pretty bird) Are you just watching and waiting for spring
Or do you have some kind of magic?
