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
