Lyrics
Healing
She woke up to a chorus of saws and hammers
They’re building a new hotel across the street
From her inner-city broken-down apartment
Where the floor’s so old it cracks beneath your feet
She sings a song of love, dead ends and detours
An echo rolling slowly down the hall
And her young and pretty face has seen better days
Though, she can’t remember better days at all
Come up to the house, darlin’, stay for awhile
Just for as long as you please
Leave your shoes on the porch and your blues by the door
Baby, I know what you need
Gimme’ some healing, healing
I think you know what I mean
Gimme’ some healing, healing
It’s all anybody needs
Her head full of old dreams and forgotten ambitions
It’s so easy to find the wrong time and place
And if it’s time, time, time that you love
Why does getting old feel like a fall from grace?
I can tell by the way you bite your nails
And I can tell by the way you play with your hair
The world has a funny way of leading you astray
I can tell you’re lonely out there
