Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You come home late
And you come home early
You come on big
When you're feeling small
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 their runnin'
Just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and 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 their runnin'
Just to be on the run
It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow
That crossed the evil line today
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain't go 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 their runnin'
Just to be on the run
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
