[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
