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. 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 When we ain't got one word to say? Chorus
