Lyric Slow Healing Heart

When I left I left walkin wounded
I made my escape from the rain
Still a prisoner of hurt
I had months worth of work
Just freein my mind of the pain
I had hours of sittin alone in the dark
Listenin to sad songs and comin apart
Lord knows I made crying an art
Woe is a slow healing heart
Chorus:

A slow healing heart dyin to mend
Longin for love lonely again
But when the spirit is broken
And the memories start
Nothin 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 doin fine both in body and mind
Some hurts take longer to fade
But there s a part of my feelings ever on guard
Against looks that are tender and words that are hard
Cause I still remember those cutting remarks
Oh it s painful a slow healing heart

Chorus:

A slow healing heart dyin to mend
Longin for love lonely again
When the spirit is broken
And the memories start
You know nothin moves slower
Than a slow healing heart
Nothin moves slower
Than a slow healing heart
