Cold Hands by The Lex Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold hands
You never gave me time to understand
That you would never be an old man
I guess that fifty-nine's not young

The bedsheets
Are they just hiding all your cracked ribs?
Or is it meant to make us feel like
You're staying warm while you sleep?

[Pre-Chorus]
They're keeping these lights dim
To hide the yellowy tinge
On your cold and wrinkly skin
So we don't feel alone

[Chorus]
Oh, cold hands
You've gotta, gotta take it slow at the end
Oh, Oold man
You know you have to take it slow at the end
[Verse 2]
Your mother
Is asking God why couldn't it be her
Cause she was meant to make it home first
Your father couldn't even speak

Goodnight
People tell me that I've got your eyes
We donated yours to some other guy
I guess he's got your eyes now too

[Pre-Chorus]
They're keeping these lights dim
To hide the yellowy tinge
On your cold and wrinkly skin
So we don't feel alone

[Chorus]
Oh, cold hands
You've gotta, gotta take it slow at the end
Oh, old man
You know you have to take it slow at the end

[Bridge]
They told you right from the start
You've been working too hard
Yeah, your heart, it couldn't keep up
And now we feel alone
[Chorus]
Oh, cold hands
You've gotta, gotta take it slow at the end
Oh, old man
You know you have to take it slow at the end

Oh, cold hands
You've gotta, gotta take it slow at the end
Oh, old man
You know you have to take it slow at the end

Oh, cold hands
You've gotta, gotta take it slow at the end
Oh, old man
You know you have to take it slow at the end

Oh, cold hands
You've gotta, gotta take it slow at the end
Oh, old man
You know you have to take it slow at the end
