Nanci griffith speed of the sound of loneliness lyrics

(John Prine)



You come home late

And you come home early

You come on big

When you're feelin' small

You come home straight

And you home curly

Sometimes you just 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 there 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?
