October Song

[Verse 1]

Today, my bird flew away

Gone to find her big blue jay

Starlight before she took flight

I sang her "Lullaby of Birdland" every night

I sang a lullaby every night

Sang for my Ava every night

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

And Ava flies in paradise

And Ava flies in paradise

[Verse 2]

With dread, I woke in my bed

To shooting pains up in my head

Lovebird, my beautiful bird

Spoke until, one day, she couldn't be heard

She spoke until, one day, she couldn't be heard

She just stopped singing

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

And Ava flies in paradise

And Ava flies in paradise

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

And Ava flies in paradise

And Ava flies in paradise

[Outro]

She flies in paradise
