Walking Wounded Lyrics

(words and music by Howie Lucero © 1983)

Heal - Heal me when I wound. Shield - Shield me from the truth
'cause I know the truth and now I see . . . Yes, I know - I know you don't need me.

But still, I keep this love for you, and still I don't know what to do.
Oh, I don't know just how long I can bleed. Oh, I don't know how I can still believe
that they're not September islands in my eyes. Then, my torch was amber.

(inst.)

Heal - Heal me when I wound. Shield - Shield me from the truth
'cause I know the truth and now I see . . . Yes, I know - I know you don't need me
on that warm September island in my eyes with wine and clever banter.
There at the Agenda, no one asked me why I could not remember.

(inst.)

Heal - Heal me when I wound. Shield - Shield me from the truth
'cause I know the truth and now I see . . . Yes, I know - I know you don't need me
