Today my bird flew away 

gone to find her big blue jay 

Starlight before she took flight 

I sung a lullaby of bird land everynight 

sung for my Ava everynight 



Ava was the morning, now she's gone 

she's reborn like Sarah Vaughan 

In the sanctuary she has found 

birds surround her sweet soun 

and Ava flies in paradise 



With dread I woke in my bed 

to shooting pains up in my head 

Lovebird, my beautiful bird 

Spoken 'til one day she couldn't be heard 

she just stopped singing 



Ava was the morning, now she's gone 

she's reborn like Sarah Vaughan 

In the sanctuary she has found 

birds surround her sweet soun 

and Ava flies in paradise
