Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness Lyrics - Other Voices, Other Rooms - Nanci Griffith

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 

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 runnin', just to be on the run 

Well, I've got a heart that burns with a fever 

And I've got a worried and a jealous mind 

How can a love, that will last forever 

Get left so far behind? 

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 

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 

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 

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 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
