SPEED OF THE SOUND OF LONELINESS
(Nancy Griffith)

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:
So what in the world's come over you
And what in heavens name have you done
You 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'll last forever
Now get left so far behind

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL (Same as chorus)

It's 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 (Repeated twice)

You're out there runnin' just to be on the run (Repeated twice)
