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
