Speed of the Sound of Loneliness

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 What in the world has come over you What in heaven's name have you done You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness And 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 So how can a love that'll last forever Get left so far behind What in the world has come over you What in heaven's name have you done You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness And you're out there running just to be on the run It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow Across that evil line today So how can you ask about tomorrow When we ain't got one word to say What in the world has come over you What in heaven's name have you done You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness And you're out there running just to be on the run
