Come Close Now - Christa Wells

[00:13.620]I'm afraid of the space where you suffer
[00:21.010]Where you sit in the smoke and the burn
[00:28.680]I can't handle the choke or the danger
[00:35.140]Of my own foolish, inadequate words
[00:42.450]I'll be right outside if you need me
[00:46.400]Right outside
[00:49.970]What can I bring to your fire?
[00:57.380]Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
[01:04.500]Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
[01:11.620]Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
[01:17.330]Can I come close now?
[01:26.290]So we left you to fight your own battle
[01:33.360]And you buried your hope with your faith
[01:40.600]'Cause you heard no song of deliverance
[01:46.790]There on the nights that followed the wake
[01:54.580]We never thought to go with you
[01:58.820]Afraid to ask
[02:01.650]What can I bring to your fire?
[02:09.350]Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
[02:16.079]Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
[02:23.410]Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
[02:29.040]Can I come close now?
[02:33.710]Lay down our plans
[02:37.390]Lay down the sure-fire fix
[02:41.330]Grief's gonna stay awhile
[02:44.590]There is no cure for this
[02:48.220]We watch for return
[02:52.000]We speak what we've heard
[02:55.400]We sit together, in the burn
[03:29.980]What can I bring to your fire?
[03:39.420]Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
[03:46.010]Can I hold you while the flames grow higher,
[03:53.710]Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
[03:59.070]Can I come close now?
