Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness Song Lyrics

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..

*****

So what in the world’s come over you?

And what in heaven’s 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

How can a love that’ll last forever

Get left so far behind..

*****

What in the world’s come over you?

And what in heaven’s 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 tomorrow

We ain’t got one word to say..

*****

So what in the world’s come over you?

And what in heaven’s 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

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.

So what in the world’s come over you

And what in heaven’s 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.

How can a love that’ll last forever,

et left so far behind.

So what in the world’s come over you

And what in heaven’s 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.

How can you ask about tomorrow,

We ain’t got one word to say.

So what in the world’s come over you

And what in heaven’s 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
