Patty Loveless - Pieces Of The Ground lyrics

rate me

(John Bunzow)

Mend this broken body

In pieces on the ground

My spirit's cracked and crumbled

My world's been crashing down

The weight upon your shoulders

Got so heavy they just gave in

Till could not lift my head up

To face another day again.

Let a ray of hope come shining

So I may look up at the sky

And see a glimpse of tomorrow

Where I'm standing in the light

Let me climb upon the hilltop

Healing hands can touch me now

They will mend this broken body

In pieces on the ground

The human heart's a fragile thing

It shatters just like glass

Gather up all these splinters

Crush them into grains of sand

So the wind may scatter them

Towards the angels looking down

They will mend this broken body

In pieces on the ground

Then a ray of hope came shining

When I looked into your eyes

I saw all of my tomrrows

And we're standing in the light

We are high upon a hilltop

Healing hands touching me and

Mending this broken body

In pieces on the ground
