Nanci Griffith - Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness lyrics

You come home late and you come home early

You come home big when you're feeling small

You come home straight and you come home curly

Sometimes you don't come home at all

So what in the world's come over you?

What in heaven's name have you done?

You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

You're out there running just to be on the run

I've got a heart that burns with a fever

And I got a worried and a jealous mind

Well, how can a love that will last forever

Get left so far behind?

So what in the world's come over you?

What in heaven's name have you done?

You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

You're out there running just to be on the run

It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow

Crossed the evil line today

How can you asked about tomorrow?

We ain't got one word to say

So what in the world's come over you?

What in heaven's name have you done?

You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

You're out there running just to be on the run

So what in the world's come over you?

What in heaven's name have you done?

You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

You're out there running just to be on the run

You're out there running just to be on the run

You're out there running just to be on the run
