Slow Healing Heart — текст песни (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

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
