SPEED OF THE SOUND OF LONELINESS
Recorded by Nancy Griffith
Written by John Prine
INSTRUMENTAL ( twice, first time slowly)
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)
INSTRUMENTAL ( )
