(Rushing)



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
