about

This is a song about Ava who, when we learned of her existence, was about the size of a blueberry.

lyrics

I am a great sleeper
oh how I wish it were a sport
I am is a great sleeper
and my bed it is is the court
with the moon eternal referee
aries keeping score
8 hours a night I would spin these dreams
oh but that was all before....

you came and changed it all
plunged the stars into the ocean blue
you came changed it all
flung the fish into the sky, blue too
north and south and east and west, oh oh
are now swapping sides
i don't know but if I had to guess
i would say you were sent as a sign

I am a late bloomer
and that's a fact I know for sure
so tell me where can i
send my donation so they'll find a cure
but better late than not at all I say
i wouldn't miss this for the world
to get to know you more and more each day
blueberry grown into a girl
