Lyrics by Danielle Knibbe, Music by Knibbe/Besse/Walsh

lyrics

Oh the Northern Cardinal has the sweetest song to sing
With scarlet on her tail and fire on her wings
Oh I watch her from my room perched up high in that old tree
Till she hops from branch to branch and flies from me

Maybe if I were as vibrant as her
Your eyes would linger a little longer on me

In the garden there’s a pond and in the water dark and cold
I can glimpse the sparkling fins of silver and gold
I remember as a kid I would sit there mesmerized
My eyes fixed upon that fish and the way she glides

Maybe if I were as shiny as her
Your light would linger a little longer on me

Maybe if I were full of her colour, her shine and her lustre
Would you finally see?
Maybe if I were as brilliant as her
Your heart would linger a little longer with me
