Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You landed on the railing Bright red against the gray I froze there with my coffee Like you might fly away Little head tilt, like you knew me Like you'd been here all along In the quiet of the morning I could almost hear your voice [Chorus] Cardinal at the window Is that you saying hi? Just when I was missing you You showed up in the sky Every feather feels like Hope I can hold onto Cardinal at the window I wanna believe it's you I whispered, "Keep on checkin' in" As my tears hit the ground [Verse 2] Been folding up the laundry Talking to an empty chair Still reaching for my phone some nights To see if you are there But today you broke the silence Red wings where the sunlight falls I whispered, "If you hear me" You just answered with a call [Verse 3] Held your ground when the wind came through I almost said your first name out loud Like I was talkin' straight to you Are you that cardinal on the fence? The little piece of you heaven sends When my hands shake When my heart breaks When I'm lost and need a friend Is that your way of droppin' by? To wipe the worry from my eyes Every time that red wing shows up in my world I feel my angel in that bird [Chorus] Cardinal at the window Is that you saying hi? Just when I was missing you You showed up in the sky Every feather feels like Hope I can hold onto Cardinal at the window I wanna believe it's you I whispered, "Keep on checkin' in" As my tears hit the ground [Bridge] Maybe it's just a moment Maybe it's something more But my heart knew in an instant What my eyes were looking for So I'll watch for you in branches Any time I'm coming undone "If that’s you, don’t stop comin’ back" If love can cross that distance Send me another one
