Hurting Place Music and lyrics by Kara Johnstad Please don't go I'm so afraid to lose you before I really Know you Don't walk away All though I know the pain's So hard for you to bare Love twists and tears us It dresses and it wears us You look so gaunt and torn Your face rather worn You're in a hurting place, looking for some grace Call out my name and I'm there Dissolve all the shame, know that I care Darkness Chills you're pulled so far inside Just keep talking to me baby, I say Icey glares and silent stares Can't regonize your eyes You're cut off from the world in every way You tug at your T, and mumble ?just let me be? I try to decipher if your grumble means maybe Phases sometimes faze us And jesus sometimes saves us But sometimes it's just you alone against the world Harsxh winds that blow, Carrying the weight of each word Your voice has changed Grown dark and deeply grained Since your struggle with your loss Let me gobble up the dark and give you just a little spark Yes, Cry out the tears in my name Release those bellied fears of shame Like a cactus cry in the desert rain, Like a late night chat on a long night train Like a deep yowl of a warrior's cry Or a mountain climber hanging from the sky Like a cricket in the dark longing to sing Or the humming flutter of a blackbird's wings Like a firefly longing to light again
