Come Close Now歌詞

I'm afraid of the space where you suffer
Where you sit in the smoke and the burn
I can't handle the choke or the danger
Of my own foolish, inadequate words
I'll be right outside if you need me
Right outside
What can I bring to your fire?
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
Can I come close now?
So we left you to fight your own battle
And you buried your hope with your faith
'Cause you heard no song of deliverance
There on the nights that followed the wake
We never thought to go with you
Afraid to ask
What can I bring to your fire?
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
Can I come close now?
Lay down our plans
Lay down the sure-fire fix
Grief's gonna stay awhile
There is no cure for this
We watch for return
We speak what we've heard
We sit together, in the burn
What can I bring to your fire?
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher,
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
Can I come close now?
