Speed of the Sound of Loneliness

1 4
You come home late and you come home early
5 1
You come on big when you’re feeling small
4
You come home straight and you come home curly
5 1
Sometimes you don’t come home at all
 

1 4
So what in the world’s come over you
5 1
And what in heaven’s name have you done
4
You’ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
5 1
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’ll last forever
Get left so far behind

It’s a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It’s crossed the evil line today
Well how can you ask about tomorrow
We ain’t got one word to say
