Rings on Saturn

This is so weird. I wrote this song while driving this weekend (my favorite time to write). It is written to a bluegrass rhythm and sound. I can hear the harmony parts, the separate mandolin and banjo solos and everything. See if you can hear it, okay? The content of the song is not very 'bluegrassy' however, just typical Chase stuff.

So strange, but hey, I always go with it. I am not one to just wad the paper up and throw it in the trash can, I just stack it in the corner and kind of chuckle at myself.

Rings on Saturn

Verse
I know why there's rings on Saturn.
I know that there's life
Undiscovered
On the bottom of the
Ocean, and the tides...

Prechorus
Roll on by
With a pull from the moon.
I close my eyes,
As the tension in the room
Starts to rise.
My heart is a balloon,
It floats on by.

Chorus

With all the things I know,
And all the things I know that I can do;
I'll never know you.
I'll never know you.
I'll never know you.

Verse
I know there's still room in heaven.
I know there's no hell.
Unless you count the
Time I spent with-
Out you in my sails...

Prechorus
The blowing wind,
Always pushing me away.
I don't know when,
But one of these new days
You'll come again,
This time to stay.

Chorus
With all the things I know,
And all the things I know that I can do;
I'll never know you.
I'll never know you.
I'll never know you.


Mandolin Solo

Okay, now let's hear a little banjo


Build
Rise and fall and crawl
It's all tumbling down.
From the bridges to the rivers
To the mountains to the underground.

Verse
I know there's no one worth loving.
I know there's no point.
It's the ones we push away
That love us,
And the ones that stay that hurt.

Prechorus
Oh, I ain't got time,
I'm getting pretty old,
With deeper lines
In the wrinkles of my soul.
The warning signs
Keep passing as I go.

Chorus
With all the things I know,
And all the things I know that I can do;
I'll never know you.
Never understand
The things you do.
I'll never know you.
