"Heal Over"



These days I find myself being drawn back to this song by KT Tunstall that Erica introduced to me. Guess it resonates deeply with how I've been feeling of late. And its hard for most people to understand....although I know a few rare souls ard me do. I find some comfort in that. Sigh.

Anyway, this arrangement of the song with lush strings captured my attention. (It's got the Brooke Fraser, "Give Me Jesus" vibe.) Not sure of the pseudo-rock transition it goes into mid-way of the song though. If you want the full acoustic (read more intimate) version of the song, you can let me know, and I'll email you.

Heal Over (by KT Tunstall)
==========================
It isn't very difficult to see why
You are the way you are
Doesn't take a genius to realise
That sometimes life is hard
It's gonna take time
But you'll just have to wait
You're gonna be fine
But in the meantime

Chorus:
Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you'll heal over
Heal over
Heal over someday

And I don't wanna hear you tell yourself
That these feelings are in the past
You know it doesn't mean they're off the shelf
Because pain's built to last
Everybody sails alone
But we can travel side by side
Even if you fail
You know that no one really minds
Come over here lady

Don't hold on but don't let go
I know it's so hard
You've got to try to trust yourself
I know it's so hard, so hard
