Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes - Cardinal wings lyrics

With eyes as red as cardinal wings She wraps herself in golden things And walks along through empty halls Honey, how'd you fall so far? Awaken from your slumber deep A lion & a poem so sweet As sugar or a ripened pear Let down your dress Let fall your hair For tonight Oh, my love Let's just hold on Our rainy days are all but gone In this old hotel In this old hotel Our rainy days are all but gone Honey, I'll be here 'Til sunlight floods the dawn Sharp as knives A full-fixed blade She cuts me off She makes me wait "Our dreams" she said "Are just falling stars" Now we're dancing on the boulevard We twist and twirl up to the sky My blood's on fire I'm so alive "Our dreams" I say "Are alive and well" This love is made from steel This thing is strong as hell For tonight Oh, my love Let's just hold on Our rainy days are all but gone In this old hotel In this old hotel Our rainy days are all but gone Honey, I'll be here 'Til sunlight floods the dawn Watch the building Crumble down As we find ourselves On some solid ground For tonight Oh, my love Let's just hold on
