(Jim Rushing)
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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 but 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.
Oh, nothin' moves slower than a 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.
--- Instrumental ---
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 but 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.
Oh, nothin' moves slower than a slow healing heart...
