Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Nanci Griffith
[Verse 1]
You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you're feelin' small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all

[Chorus]
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 runnin' just to be on the run

[Verse 2]
Well, I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and jealous mind
How can a love that will last forever
Get left so far behind?

[Chorus]
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 on the run
[Verse 3]
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It's crossed the evil line today
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain't got one word to say?

[Chorus]
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 on the run
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 on the run

[Outro]
You're out there runnin' just to be on the run
You're out there runnin' just to be on the run
You're out there runnin' just to be on the run
