| Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness Lyrics |
| Nanci Grifith & 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 come 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 |
| 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 |
| Solo |
| 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? |
| 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? |
| 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 |
