Today my bird flew away Gone to find her big blue jay Starlight before she took flight I sung a lullaby of bird land every night Sung for my Ava every night Ava was the morning, now she's gone She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan In the sanctuary she has found Birds surround her sweet sound 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 sound And Ava flies in paradise
