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
