slow healin' heart

when i left

i left walkin' wounded

and made my escape from the rain still a prisoner of hurt

i had months worth the work

freein' my mind of the pain

i had hours to sit alone in the dark

listenin' to sad songs

and comin' apart

lord knows i made cryin' an art

we give a slow healing heart

slow healing heart

dyin' to mend

it's longing for love

lonely again

when a spirit is broken

and the memories start

nothing moves slower

than a slow healing heart

how i prayed for blind faith to lead me

to places where i'm not afraid

now i'm doing fine

both in body and mind

some hurts take longer to fade

there's a part of my feelings

ever on guard

against looks that are tender

words that are hard

i still remember those cutting remarks

we give a slow healing heart

a slow healing heart

is dying to mend

longing for love

lonely again

when the spirit is broken

and the memories start

nothing moves slower

than a slow healing heart

nothing moves slower

than a slow healing heart
