lyrics

mean red cardinal
fly down from beyond
around & around we go
hello cardinal sing my darling’s song

mean red cardinal
fly down from beyond
around & around we go
bye bye cardinal fly my darling home

storm clouds scream across the sky
hard rain is gonna fall awhile
tilted crest hide under the eaves
mean red cardinal smiling on the breeze

mean red cardinal
fly down from beyond
around & around we go
hello cardinal sing my darling’s song

mean red cardinal
fly down from beyond
around & around we go
bye bye cardinal fly my darling home

perched in snow
old telephone pole
chase away blue jay on the wire
red-tailed hawk circling on high
mean red cardinal always knows when to fly

mean red cardinal
fly down from beyond
around & around we go
hello cardinal sing my darling’s song

mean red cardinal
fly down from beyond
around & around we go
bye bye cardinal fly my darling home

cardinal fly death’s burden from love’s shoulders
mean red cardinal aint got no tears left to cry

mean red cardinal
fly down from beyond
around & around we go
hello cardinal sing my darling’s song

mean red cardinal
fly down from beyond
around & around we go
bye bye cardinal fly my darling home
bye bye cardinal fly my darling home
bye bye cardinal fly my darling home
