"Cardinal" lyrics - KACEY MUSGRAVES

I saw a sign or an omen
On the branches in the mornin'
It was right after I
Lost a friend without warning

[Pre-Chorus:]
Words unsaid
Scarlet-red

[Chorus:]
Cardinal
Are you bringing me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you telling 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'

[Pre-Chorus:]
And there he was
Above my head

[Chorus:]
Cardinal
Are you bringing me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you telling me I'm on somebody's mind?
Don't leave me behind

[Bridge:]
Are you just watching and waiting for spring?
Or do you have some kind of magic to bring? (Pretty bird)
Are you just watching and waiting for spring? (Why wait?)
Or do you have some kind of magic to bring? (Pretty bird)
Are you just watching and waiting for spring?
Or do you have some kind of magic?

[Chorus:]
Cardinal
Are you bringing me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you telling me I'm on somebody's mind?
Cardinal
Are you bringing me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
Are you telling me I'm on somebody's mind?
Are you bringing me a message from the other side?
Cardinal
