Slow Healing Heart Lyrics - Dolly Parton

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

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
