I watched a cardinal dust the night off its wings
I watched a cardinal dust the night off its wings
My soul was shattered 'til I heard that red bird sing
I see my breath and I hear winter’s lonely croon
See my breath and I hear winter’s lonely croon
One of these days, well, the dogwoods are gonna bloom
A decade of hot, heavenly summers
Waitin' on an angel to call my number
You left a trail of stars for me to find
You left a trail of stars for me to find
Well they gathered and spelled your name 'cross the Piedmont sky
Nothin' holds a flame to you at all
I said, nothin' holds a flame to you at all
Oh and I’ve seen a shade and old sunset in the fall
A decade of hot heavenly summers
Waitin' on an angel to call my number
A decade of hot heavenly summers
Waitin' on an angel to call my number
A decade of hot heavenly summers
Waitin' on an angel to call my number
