the wounds are finally closed and the scars they hardly show
and it don't hurt me quite as much as it did a year ago
i crossed the sea of heartache to get from there to here
but look how far i'd be in just another year. oh
i sure am feelin' slow. well
i've almost stopped to bleeding from this old bleeding heart
and i know the pains i'm feeling oh are gettin' far apart
god knows it still hurts me but it won't hurt quite as much
and i think i'm gonna make it if i'll hang on long enough. 'cause i'm healin'
i sure am feelin' slow. oh
