about

Inspired by Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris style duets, Chambers and Townsend sat down with the intent on re-creating the same magic of the male / female duet which Parsons and Harris so effortlessly nailed. A song of extra-marital passion and desire versus the bible.

lyrics

Ive been yearning for a love that’s true
Ive been turning my back on you
We've been trying to understand
Darlin please walk away don’t take my hand

Ive been crying oh so long
Ive been lying I know its wrong
We’ll keep our hearts free from devils gate
Darling please walk away its not too late

Lift us higher to solid ground
Break these chains lord that hold us down
Sacrifice our love that’s dammed
As we stand on the shores of the promised land

I’ve been hoping you’d change our mind
I’ve been knowing for some time
We have no power to turn around
Here we stand both condemned on sacred ground

Lift us higher to solid ground
Break these chains lord that hold us down
Sacrifice our love that’s dammed
As we stand on the shores of the promised land

Lift us higher to solid ground
As we stand on the shores of the promised land
