You come home late - And you come home early

You come on big - When you're feelin' 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?

What in heaven's name have you done?

You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

You're out there runnin' - 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

Well how can a love - That will last forever

Get left so far behind?
