John Vanderslice - Up Above The Sea lyrics

rate me

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
