G C
You come home late and you come home early,
D G
You come on big when you're feeling small.
G C
You come home straight and you come home curly;
D G
Sometimes you don't come home at all.
C
So what in the world's come over you
D G
And what in heaven's name have you done?
C
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness.
D G
You're out there running just to be on the run
Well, I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind.
How can a love that'll last forever
Get left so far behind?
Chorus
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow;
It's crossed the evil line today.
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain't got one word to say?
Chorus
