Slow Healing Heart

[Verse 1] When I left I left walking wounded I made my escape from the rain Still a prisoner of hurt I had months worth of work Just freeing my mind of the pain I had hours of sitting alone in the dark Listening' to sad songs and coming' apart Lord knows I made crying an art Woe is a slow healing heart [Chorus] A slow healing heart dying to mend Longin' for love lonely again But when the spirit is broken And the memories start Nothing moves slower Than a slow healing heart [Verse 2] 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 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] [Outro] Nothing moves slower Than a slow healing heart
