lyrics
Take my hand and walk me through the past
It’s hard to say how long it’s gonna last
You draw a line in the sand, you know your hand is shaking
Well I lose track when I count all the pills I’m taking.
Don’t look now ‘cause I feel the need to cry
and it’s hard to understand the reason why. You take another hit to make it go away;
you tell another lie to make it through the day.
So easy to get, so hard to let go
You're at the point of no return before you know.
That losing hand you're holding
Well you know you should be folding
You take the money with both hands and walk away.
Take a look at yourself,
you don't like what you're seeing:
Bloodshot eyes and a heart that's barely beating.
You feel the water running through your hand
Ice-cold water feels like burning sand.
Feel the water running through your hand
Ice-cold water feels like burning sand.
It’s hard to say how long it’s gonna last
You draw a line in the sand, you know your hand is shaking
Well I lose track when I count all the pills I’m taking.
Don’t look now ‘cause I feel the need to cry
and it’s hard to understand the reason why. You take another hit to make it go away;
you tell another lie to make it through the day.
So easy to get, so hard to let go
You're at the point of no return before you know.
That losing hand you're holding
Well you know you should be folding
You take the money with both hands and walk away.
Take a look at yourself,
you don't like what you're seeing:
Bloodshot eyes and a heart that's barely beating.
You feel the water running through your hand
Ice-cold water feels like burning sand.
Feel the water running through your hand
Ice-cold water feels like burning sand.

about
Kenna & Cox Paris, France
A chance encounter in a Paris bar in 2008 launched a serendipitous collaboration between two Australian musicians: Chris Kenna and Melissa Cox ("he with the voice and soul to raise the dead and she with the melody to make them glad to be alive"). Together, Kenna and Cox have played at festivals around Europe, including in the Netherlands and Ireland, and supported Alabama 3 at Tripod in Dublin. ... more
