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
