Speed of the Sound of Loneliness lyrics

You come home late and you come home early

You come on 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?

And 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

Well, I got a heart that burns with a fever

And I got a worried and a jealous mind

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

It's crossed the evil line today

How can you ask about tomorrow

So we ain't got one word to say?

So what in the world's come over you?

And 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
