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
