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
