Slow Healing 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
