Lyrics

The Healing

Yes it's true I always had a crush on you but somehow never found a way to show it,
I let you get away from me I don't know how, I should have made a pitch now I know it
And now another person's up'd and come along
I turned around and looked and you were gone,
And now I'm left here sittin' watchin' time go by
Hopin' that you'll turn around and come on home to your healer.

(second background voices saying "come on home and let me be your lover, come on home and let me be your healer"

Jeanie changed her name to Lucinda
Donned a pair of jeans and worn-out shoes
Ran off with a man who said he loved her
but now he's left her high and dry and blue.
Now she's sittin cryin' on the curbside,
Wishin' she was where she used to be
Could someone take this pain from her life?
Could someone take this pain from her life?
Could someone take this pain from her life?
The pain that she's feeling,
come give her healing.
Markin' time walkin on a ghost road
a siren to the lonely hearts that moan
dreamin' that a new smile be her lover
Someone she can hold and call her own.
Dedicates a wine-toast to the sunset,
pulling down her bed and covers too
Could someone take this pain from her life?
Could someone take this pain from her life?
Could someone take this pain from her life?
The pain that she's feeling,
come give her healing.
She camouflages sufferin in her heart pain
But reminiscins' never quite the same
And healings been the hardest thing
this girl has ever faced,
knowin it'll never be the same.
Could someone take this pain from her life?
Could someone take this pain from her life?
Could someone take this pain from her life?
The pain that she's feeling,
come give her healing.
