I got a blue bird, a blue bird on my shoulder

I got a blue bird, a blue bird on my shoulder

I saw her standing, standing by the water

She was naked, her hair in great disorder





And I know that I fly and the rest is lie





I sent a warning, a warning of disaster

I sent a warning, I warned of great disaster

I sent that blue bird, a blue bird down the water

I sent that blue bird, floating down the water





And I know that I fly and the rest is lie

Hold me, hold me, hold me close
