Ross & The Wolf - Red Cardinal, Red Cardinal Lyrics

Red cardinal, red cardinal
On the white picket fence
Enough with the subtlety
It's quite obvious
You came the day after
You haven't quite left
Red cardinal, red cardinal
When will I rest

Red cardinal, red cardinal
It's been a few months
Not coming as often
It isn't enough
I don't want you drifting
I still need you near
Red cardinal, red cardinal
Please don't disappear

Red cardinal, red cardinal
I think I'm okay
Can't hold you forever
Can't force you to stay
I promise I'll hold you
Right around my neck
Red cardinal, red cardinal I'll be with you yet
