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
