Cardinal Lyrics

I saw a sign
Or an omen
On the branches
In the mornin'
It was right
After I
Lost a friend
Without warnin'
Words unsaid
Scarlet-red

Cardinal
Are you bringin' me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you tellin' me I'm on somebody's mind?
Don't leave me
Behind

I took a walk
In the city
To clear my head
For a moment
Turned my collar
To the wind
On the street
It was blowin'
And there he was
Above my head

Cardinal
Are you bringin' me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you tellin' me I'm on somebody's mind?
Don't leave me
Behind

Are you just watchin' and waitin' for spring?
Do you have some kind of magic to bring? (Pretty bird)
Are you just watchin' and waitin' for spring? (Are you just watchin' and waiting'?)
Do you have some kind of magic to bring? (Watchin', waitin')
(Do you have some kind of magic?) (pretty bird)
Are you just watchin' and waitin' for spring? (Are you just watchin' and waitin'?)
Do you have some kind of magic?

Cardinal
Are you bringin' me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you tellin' me I'm on somebody's mind?
Cardinal
Are you bringin' me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you tellin' me I'm on somebody's mind?
Are you bringin' me a message from the other side?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
