Nanci Griffith Lyrics
"Speed Of The Sound Of Lonliness"

You come home late
And you come home early
You come home big
When you're feelin' small
You come home straight
And you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all

Chorus:
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 runnin
Just to be in the run

Well, I've got a heart that burns with a fever
And I've got a worried and a jealous mind
Well how can a love
That will last forever
Get left so far behind?
Chorus:
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
Crossed the evil line today
How can you asked about tomorrow
We ain't got one word to say
Chorus:
