The speed of the sound of loneliness
John Prine
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 heavens 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
Well how can a love that'll last forever
Get left so far behind?
What in the world's come over you
What in heavens 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
Well how can you ask about tommorrow?
When we aint got one word to say?
So what in the world's come over you
What in heavens 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
