Broken Speed of the Sound of Loneliness

You come home late, and you come early
You come home big, when you're feeling small
You come home straight, and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all

What in the world has come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
Broken speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running, just to be on the run

I got a heart that burns with fever
I've got a worried and jealous mind
How can lovin' last forever
When you're left so far behind

So what in the world has come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
Broken speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running, just to be on the run

Mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
Crossed the evil line today
How can I ask about tomorrow
When you ain't got a word to say

What in the world has come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
Broken speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running, just to be on the run

You're out there running, just to be on the run
You're out there running, just to be on the run
