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
