Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness Lyrics - Exile On Coldharbour Lane - A3 (alabama 3)

"Speed of the Sound of Loneliness", Alabama 3 (A3) 

[Everybody gotta run sometime] 

Come home late, come home early 

Come home big when I'm feelin' small 

Come home straight, come home fucked-up 

Sometimes I don't come home at all 

CHORUS 

What in the world has come over me? 

What in heaven's name have I done? 

I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness 

I'm out there running just to be on the run 

You've a heart that burns with a fever 

You've got a worried and a jealous mind 

How can a love that'll last forever 

Leave me so damn far behind? 

Tell me now 

CHORUS 

It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow 

[Heartbreakin's what it is] 

It's crossed that evil line today 

[Let's cross it together, hand-in-hand] 

I can't think about tomorrow 

[Well now, who can?] 

I ain't got one word to say 

[Now sing along] 

CHORUS 

(Variation from John Prine's Lyrics)
