Cardinal Lyrics by Possum Pirate

Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Backyards

2024

[Verse 1]
We had a big bay window with some feeders hung outside
When I was a little kid, I watched the small birds fly
They went through our birdseed if we chased away the squirrels
They never ran too far, but it left the feeder doing twirls
[Pre-Chorus]
But there was one old bird who we saw so many days
A big red cardinal who couldn't find his way
[Chorus]
Out into the kitchen now, he's knocking on the screen
Does he see beyond it? Is there anything to see?
Could he be a message sent from someone we oncе knew?
Or was this just something he wantеd to do?
[Verse 2]
At night, a spider built a web: the window as its frame
I watch the insects fly into the spider's deadly game
And I kept the kitchen lights on, though it brought so many moths
They flapped their wings towards me, and fell right into spider claws
[Pre-Chorus]
But morning comes, and the web will go away
And make room for the cardinal who comes back every day
[Chorus]
Out into the kitchen now, he's flapping on the seal
Is he divinely sent? Does he even have a will?!
Do we pretend to know him? Is he worthy of our love?
Will we see him once again in heaven above?
Any other cardinal would never be the same
I'd know him right away if he chose to come again
He never had a goodbye and I feel I've lose a friend
But if he came back, I think I'd let him in
