"Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness" lyrics
"Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness"
You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you're feeling 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 heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
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
We ain't got one word to say
[Chorus]
[Ending:]
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

Bruce Cockburn - "Wondering Where The Lions Are" Sun's up... looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking 'bout eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
I had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as...
Nanci Griffith - "Boots Of Spanish Leather" Oh, I'm sailing away, my own true love
I'm sailing away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea?
From the place where I'll be landing?
There's nothing you can send me,...
Jackson Browne - "A Little Soon To Say" I came for inspiration
I came looking for grace
And found my reflection
In every passing face
In everyone who gathered
Standing on that shore
Searching the horizon
Not knowin' what exactly for...
