Redbirds

There was lightning in the air
The night I lost my mother
And every time I see my dad
She’s hanging in the air
She said
«Son, look for the Redbirds, and you’ll see my spirit there
These old legs never walked, so in death I’ll take the air.»
And I know that I won’t
Ever be at rest
'cause while she was alive
I never did my best
And If she’s looking down
On all of us today
I hope that she knows
I’ll never let her fade
(I'll never let her fade)
Maybe, I’ll just wait for spring
And flowers won’t be the only thing that blooms
All of this is so much like a dream
Sometimes I call the old house
Just to hear you on the machine
When no one’s looking is your spirit with me?
