Up Above The Sea Lyrics - John Vanderslice

The sun came up 

Up above the sea 

The streaming clouds 

Tore into my tranquility 

Out my window 

I could see 

A bird drop down 

On the branches of my apple tree 

Everyday the bluebird comes down 

And stares at me for hours 

Can't figure out if he brings me luck 

Or if he's trying to tear me down 

I bought a rifle 

With a Bushnell scope 

Knowing the answer would be 

To see if he's calm or frightful 

The sun rose up 

Over the sea 

I staked out and waited 

Like so many gunmen before me 

Everyday the bluebird comes down 

And stares at me for hours 

Can't figure out if he brings me luck 

Or if he's trying to tear me down 

He saw my gun, he stared 

Right into my eyes, I fired 

His body exploded 

And feathers fell all over my lawn
