Bluejays and Cardinals

John Darnielle

[Verse 1]
Bluejays and cardinals all come out to play;
The highway traffic gets out of your way
Skies clear up if they're overcast
Pitbulls are gentle when you come past
The stars come out of hiding for you
And I would too

[Chorus]
But this world couldn't hold you
You slipped free
Yeah, this world couldn't hold you
You slipped free without me

[Verse 2]
New sheen all over everything
When you open up your mouth to sing
Baseballs travel farther when you watch them fly
Apples fatten on the tree when you walk by
You bring something unreplaceable to each and every day
Or you used to, anyway

[Chorus]
But this world couldn't hold you
You slipped free
Yeah, this world couldn't hold you
You slipped free without me
