Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness

As the cafe was closing
 On a warm summer night
 And Cathy was cleaning the spoons
 The radio played the "Hit Parade"
 And I hummed a long with the tune
 She asked me to change the station
 Said the song just drove her insane
 But it weren't just the music playing
 It was me that she was trying to blame.
 And the sky is black and still now
 On the hill where the angels sing
 Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
 Looks just like a diamond ring
 But it's far, far from me
 Well, I leaned on my left leg
 In the parking lot dirt
 And Cathy was closing the lights
 A June bug flew from the warmth he once knew
 And I wished for once I weren't right
 Why we used to laugh together
 And we'd dance to any old song.
 Well, ya know, she still laughs with me
 But she waits just a second too long.
 Well, I started the engine
 And I gave it some gas
 And Cathy was closing her purse
 Well, we hadn't gone far in my beat old car
 And I was prepared for the worst.
 "Will you still see me tomorrow?"
 "No, I got too much to do."
 Well, a question ain't really a question
 If you know the answer too.
