Woke Up This Morning
By: Christopher Bosca
Verse
I woke up this morning
A good wife and home
I walked out the door
Never said goodbye
Out on the road
I turned it all around
Always stand to lose everything
Don’t throw it away yourself.
May be a rich man
Maybe you’re poor
Hold on hard to the life you’ve got
See and breathe and feel it all
Everything I love in life
Is a well of pain and hurt
You always stand to lose everything.
Makes nothin’ seem like a lot.
Verse
If everyday now were
A day just like this one
Sun in the sky Lord
Legs, hands, heart, and you
I would live each one so hard
But lord says it can’t be so
Hmm. Some of what you got he’s gonna
Take away from you.
Now everyday can be
the best I know it’s so
If I can just stay alive
Not fade away and go
Got to fight to realize
All we got is our soul
Wherever we’re going next I want
To travel this life with you.
Verse/outro
Woke up this morning
Turned myself around
Never did feel quite so good
Till I thought that I would die
I guess we just stand to lose
everything.
To teach us to hang on tight.
Or maybe we stand to lose it all
To teach us to let it go.
Teach us to let it go
Teach us to let it go
Teach us to let it go
Teach us to let it go

Used Stuff
By Christopher Bosca
Verse
Used Stuff in the corner
That I have not quite thrown away.
Is piling up around me
Like dishes, dishes from yesterday.
The time that I had
Has mostly slipped away
I held it in my fingers
But I could not, could not make it
stay
Chorus:
Oh… I’m sinkin’ here
Somebody throw me a line.
I was going along
Every thing was fine
‘Till I looked around.
looked around
Oh… I’m sinkin’ here
Somebody throw me a line.
I was going along
Every thing was fine
‘Till I looked around, looked
around behind.
Verse
Has time caught up to me
Or can I stand up to it all
Try as I might, I still cant’ see
Where the chips are, chips are ‘gonna fall.
Now every day’s a race with time
Not a minute to rest or lose
Get something done before I’m gone
Is all that’s left, all that’s left to choose.
Chorus
Break
I will make it right
I’m here to fight the fight
I may be hurt but I’ll never give up
“Til I’m six feet, six feet in the
dirt.
Verse
Used stuff on the road I’ve walked
Like litter in the ditch
Thought I was doing alright
Must have been some, been some
Turn I missed
Chorus/Outro
Oh, I’m sinkin’ here
Somebody throw me a line
I’m going back to save what I can
I’m gonna live another live
another…
Oh, I’m sinkin’ here
Somebody throw me a line
I’m going back to save what I can
I’m gone live another, live
another
I’m going back to save what I can
I’m going to live another, live
another…
Day…

Shadow That I Cast

The Shadow That I Cast
By Christopher Bosca
Verse
Up here watching life go by just
Sitting on the porch, feeling
Sorry for myself I know I’ve
Got to drop that torch
I hang around and rock away, and I
Don’t have much to say
Friends come by to tell me “hi”
I wait to say goodbye
Weeks ago I told myself I’d
Give me one day
Now I know that now’s the time
Before I’m old and grey.
I look out past the edge of town
And I see the green hills rise
I feel my heart is growing now
To twice its normal size.
Chorus
One hand on the railing and my
Feet are in the air, they
Hit the ground and away I go I’m
Off without a care
Fire in my eyes
I have Rockets in my arms
I think that I will push off hard and
Fly across the yard
Verse
Down the stairs and out the gate and the
porch is out of site
A dollar coffee shop and some
Used cars on the right
Motel neon tells me
There’s vacancy today
But I don’t want a
place to stay
I am moving on my way.
Yesterday when I went out I was
Feelin’ mean and tough
Everyone took aim at me, they
Treated me real rough
When I left the house today
I was armed with just my smile
I guess that they can see in me
I’m innocent and mild
Chorus
The shadow that you cast
Is the one that follows you
Sometimes you can’t see in it
What other people do.
The light from within you is the
one that see you through and
The path you have to take is the
one that you will make.
Repeat verse II
Chorus/Outro
Climbing higher
Crawling over rocks
Inching toward the edge
Just to see what lays beyond.
The shadow that I cast
From up on the mountain
Is longer than the river
And moving twice as fast
Longer than the river
And moving twice as fast.
Longer than the river
And moving twice as fas

Forevermore
By Christopher Bosca
Carpet’s worn thin to the floor
Dirty window walkup
Up above an all-night store
I slept a while then sat up here
Watching winter on the street
Lay her blanket down
Steam pipes banging softly
Frozen window halo streetlamp
Holds my gaze… frozen too
What did she mean?
Or even say?
I, I want you, in
My life, forever-more, is not too
Long, for me to wait
So I wait for the day to start. Now I
See the early morning light, but I’m
Feeling just as in the dark
How many times can it be-
These questions lying at my feet
Will cut me up and tear me down, and
Stitch me back together again?
Chorus
I’ve warred with myself
Tried to read her mind
Battle-scarred right to the bone
Choose your life and love” I said
With your heart and head
Now my words are in the barrel
And that bullets gonna kill me dead.
I’m out the door and on the street
The air is cold and wet with sleet
I walk and let my feet lead the way
The coffee shop looks warm and bright
I’m pushing through the steamy light
When the sight of you , knocks me down.
When you smile you smile for me
Maybe this was really meant to be
All the hours count down to now and forever.
I’m just waiting for forever to start
I’m waiting for forever to start.
Chorus (II)
My heart stops
When I look away
You catch my eye; I stare
When I see you smile, I know that I’ts for me
Hours counting down to now;
When you smile you set forever free.
Instrumental
I’ve warred with myself
Tried to read your mind
Battle-scarred right to the bone
Choose your life and love” I said
With your heart and head
Now my words are in the barrel
And that bullets ‘gonna kill me dead.
I, I want you,
In my life,
Forevermore
Is not too long
For me to live
But every now and then I stop
Hold my breath and wait for the shot
I’ll never hear it but still I ask
Has the bullet left the barrel at last?

Old Coast Road
By Christopher Bosca
Driving down that
Old coast road
So, so long ago
Little fishing towns
Along the way
That we passed by
that day .
Big grey clouds hangin’
down to the ground but the
Sun was
Breakin’ through.
And from way out on the that
Point up there
We looked back
To where we’d been
Chorus
Hesitation,
Meditation
Habits hold our lives
At bay
Find a course that you want
To walk
Start off on your way.
Don’t lose your say
In the day-to-day.
Verse:
Highway signs and
Queen Ann’s lace
The side of the road
And the look on your face
Chinese to go
We’re back in the flow
Melting into
The dream
Narrow staircase
Bare wood on my feet
You looking at me
From out on the street
Take me by the hand
Pull my feet from the sand
Oh God
Don’t let me go

One Night Crush
By: Christopher Bosca
Verse
Carolina,
Memories of friends
Springsteen was
The reign-ing king
We all headed south to
The beach that year.
Sun and the sea, and
A tangle of hair
Chorus
My heart remembers
that one night crush
Hardly a kiss, not really
much.
My heart remembers
that one night crush
I remember
Friends everywhere
A big old house on stilts,
Wood-smoke in the air.
Firelight
The stars above
I could guess what you were Thinking of
Chorus
Break
How did we miss it
passing in the halls?
Was it the homework, or
That always boyfriend?
A brilliant smile and a
brush of your skin
The names went first,
And the faces faded next
Verse
Carolina,
Memories of friends
Now it’s all gone and
you’re married with kids
I hardly even wonder what
might have been.
But do you do, just like I
sometimes do?
Chorus/outro
Do you remember, that one
night crush?
Just a kiss
Not very much
Do you remember that one
Night crush?
But does yours do, just like my
Summer heart does?
Do you remember, that one
Night crush?
Do you remember that one
night crush?
