Pieces Of The Ground Lyrics - Patty Loveless

Mend this broken body 

In pieces on the ground 

My spirit's cracked and crumbled 

My world's been crashing down 

The weight upon my shoulders 

Got so heavy they just gave in 

Till I 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 a 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 of these splinters 

Crush them into grains of sand 

So the wind may scatter them 

Toward 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 tomorrows 

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
