Wound

Tell me what it takes for this to go away Will it ever fade gently Close my eyes, kaleidoscope of blue It takes time to heal a wound It takes time to heal a wound The name I speak aloud Becomes a hum in the background I learn to live beside the sound of empty I'm at the mercy of time's hands Making a map from broken plans Some things are too great to understand I'm at the mercy of time's hands Close my eyes, kaleidoscope of blue It takes time to heal a wound It takes time to heal a wound A sad but hopeful truth Is that there's nothing we can do The wave just washes through, so let me Close my eyes, kaleidoscope of blue It takes time to heal a wound It takes time to heal a wound It takes time to heal a wound I'm at the mercy of time's hands It takes time to heal a wound Making a map from broken plans It takes time to heal a wound It takes time to heal a wound Some things are too great to understand I'm at the mercy of time's hands
