Dolly Parton-Slow Healing Heart

Dolly's powerful and sad version of the Jim Rushing song "Slow Healing Heart" from the 1989 album White Limozeen. The lyrics ring so true for anyone going through this emotion

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. A Slow Healing Heart, dying to mend. Longin' for love. Lonely again. 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 doing fine both in body and mind but some hurts take to fade. But there's a part of my feelings ever on guard against looks that are tender and words that are hard because I still remember those cutting remarks. Oh it's painful, a Slow Healing Heart.

Lyrics By Jim Rushing (c)1984
