Up Above the Sea

The sun came up

Up above the sea

The streaming clouds

Tore into my tranquilityOut my window

I could see

A bird drop down

On the branches of my apple treeEveryday 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 downI bought a rifle

With a Bushnell scope

Knowing the answer would be

To see if he's calm or frightfulThe sun rose up

Over the sea

I staked out and waited

Like so many gunmen before meEveryday 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 downHe saw my gun, he stared

Right into my eyes, I fired

His body exploded

And feathers fell all over my lawn
