Patty Loveless - Slow Healin' Heart lyrics

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
