The Healer Lyrics
Here comes the sun
Calling out to everyone
Here comes the sun
Falling down on everyone
Here comes the moon
Her shadows come to swallow me soon
Here comes the moon
Her shadows come to swallow me soon
It's alright
You're not the only one
There go my fears
Running on a river of tears
There go my fears
Running on a river of tears
Here comes the pain
Here comes the pain
The hurting again and again
And again and again
It's alright
You're not the only one
So I got to thinking
Perhaps I should think about staying
At least for a moment or two
I'm feeling shakey
But I'll be okay
I just don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
Please
You can take this pain away
Please
You can take this pain away
It's alright
How many can make you cry?
Here comes the rain
Here comes the rain
Flushing all the filth down the drain
Here comes the sun
Falling down on everyone
Here comes the sun
Calling out to everyone
Calling out to everyone
Here comes the sun
Falling down on everyone
Her shadows come to swallow me soon
Here comes the moon
Her shadows come to swallow me soon
You're not the only one
Running on a river of tears
There go my fears
Running on a river of tears
Here comes the pain
The hurting again and again
And again and again
You're not the only one
Perhaps I should think about staying
At least for a moment or two
I'm feeling shakey
But I'll be okay
I just don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
Please
You can take this pain away
Please
You can take this pain away
How many can make you cry?
Here comes the rain
Flushing all the filth down the drain
Falling down on everyone
Here comes the sun
Calling out to everyone

This feels very related to "Tears", which apparently is about Mark's dear friend who died of cancer.
The Healer: "Here comes the sun, Calling out to everyone " Tears: "Oh, now drawn to the sun[...]He calls out to everyone"
The Healer: "Here comes the moon" Tears: "I can see the colored moon now"
The Healer: "You're not the only one" Tears: "He was the only one"
Also, in The Healer, he actually uses the word "tears", unlike in the song Tears : "Running on a river of tears"
I think in "Tears" he feels lonely and maybe he wishes to join his dead friend in the afterlife: "Waiting for the light to turn green, And carry me home, To the kindest eyes that I've ever seen, Carry me home [...] In a cold world how will it be? In the real world how will it be? In the lonely world how would it be? Will the ghosts just stop following me?"
But in "The Healer" he has decided he wants to live: "So I got to thinking, Perhaps I should think about staying. At least for a moment or two. I'm feeling shakey, But I'll be okay"
That's my interpretation. I may be wrong, but I think the two songs are about the same tragic loss of a loved one.
[Edit: Added the sentence about using the word "tears" in The Healer.]
