the gospel of chuck

 These two songs are getting me through... Read the lyrics and try to not feel your soul shake.

THE BOAT written and arranged by Chuck Ragan

Some days we’re ripped and torn away

From the shores and tossed to a watery grave

Set adrift in the depths of the drink and in the hands of the gods we curse

We call for help when no one’s around

Shot down bleeding thoughts never make a sound

Set adrift in the depths of the dark, in the heart of the sea where we wish….

I feel it in my bones when the storm is close

Then I wait for the rain and the wind to blow

As dark colors fill the sky, I’m drenched and feeling so alive

My eyes closed tight and my ears open for the boat.

We all carry the tune we love

Think of home when the waves and the going get tough

Hold our breath and go down with the wish of just one last kiss to rest

I feel it in my bones when the storm is close

Then I wait for the rain and the wind to blow

As dark colors fill the sky, I’m drenched and feeling so alive

My eyes closed tight and my ears open for the boat.

CALIFORNIA BURRITOS written and arranged by Chuck Ragan

How cold can a heart become

Before it crumbles or decides to stay numb

I know what it’s like to feel cold

And I don’t want to die alone

Cause I can’t stand feeling nothing

I can’t stand feeling old

I can’t stand standing for nothing

When standing up is all I know

So why waste another day

Turning our backs and walking away

I want to feel everything

And I want to grow in every way

Cause I can’t stand feeling nothing

I can’t stand feeling old

I can’t stand standing for nothing

When standing up is all I know
