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
 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
 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
