When The Hurt Comes

(アルバム： Frozen In The Night - 1978)

When the hurt comes
You close your eyes
As if to drown out the pain
You're losing a piece of your soul
And you fight like a fool
To find it again

And turn out the lights, greet coldest of nights
The darkness holds you like a distant lover
When the hurt digs in that far
You scramble for who you are
Too scared to be alone, too scared to find another

I watched you grow
When as a wide eyed smiling girl
You thought all the world was beautiful
I watched you as you dance
So full of life, so full of chance
And hoped for you, I could be suitable
I watched you through the years
Watched your childhood disappear
My love so strong in me
You were nineteen when you touched me
And my whole life rushed on by
Making love to you
Left me suspended in the air
Your first time your silence told me
You were scared

Three years fly by
They share love's highs
And suffer through love's lows
There was so much he did wrong
But he was too weak to know
The tables have turned now
It's her turn to grow
And she says, "No, I just can't tell you
It's easier to lie"
And I screamed, "Tell me, have you slept with him?"
She answered when she cried

When the hurt comes
You can't block it
You can't hide

I can't chain you so I'll let you go
If you find out all you need to know
You could come back
You could give me one more try

When the hurt comes
You close your eyes
As if to drown out the pain
You're losing a piece of your soul
And you fight like a fool
To find it again
Well God, let me find her again
