October Song (Live at T in the Park 2004)

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

I sang a lullaby of bird land every night

Sang 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

And Ava flies in paradise

With dread I woke in my bed

To shooting pains up in my head

Lovebird, my beautiful bird

Spoken 'till one day she couldn't be heard

Spoken 'till 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

And Ava flies in paradise

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

She flies in paradise
