lyrics

You come 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

What in the world has come over you
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

I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that will last forever
Get left so far behind

What in the world has come over you
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

It’s a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
That’s crossed the evil line today
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain’t got one word to say

So what in the world’s come over you
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
You’re out there running just to be on the run
You’re out there running just to be on the run

Hopefully that comes through honestly .I write about everything, often about love or emotions surrounding relationships, those seem to be the songs that people respond to the most. ... more
