[Verse 1]
Hospital walls are turning to gray with no hope to feed into
Accompanying lobbies, day after day
It won't be the same without you
[Chorus]
But I saw a cardinal the other day and it made me think of you
I don't know what she means but she sang to me
Softly, inviting me to walk her way
And I won't walk away
[Bridge]
I won't walk away (Walk away)
‘Cause you're getting older (You're getting older now, you’re getting older now)
And I'll carry your pain, but that won't mean closure
[Chorus]
But I saw a cardinal the other day and it made me think of you
I don't know what she means but she sang to me
Softly, inviting me to walk her way
And I won't walk away
