Marc Cohn - Nowhere Fast lyrics

rate me

When I was a boy

I went running off to school

Went home every evening

Like there was nothing else to do

One night I looked out my window

And while the moon was racing past

I sat up there and wondered

Am I goin' nowhere fast?

I see the telephone post

I watch a sparrow fly

And all the lonely souls know

But I just drive on by

And I think of all the dreams there

That never came to pass

And I can't help but wonder

Hey are we goin' nowhere fast?

Nowhere fast

And I don't have an answer

And I don't have a clue

Why people act so crazy

But I guess I'm crazy too

A little bit crazy too

I watch my baby sleeping

It's been a long hard day

And she looks so peaceful

Lost in the faraway

Sometimes I just wanna hold her

And make one moment last

But all I do is wonder

Hey are we goin' nowhere fast?

Nowhere fast

Nowhere

Are we goin' nowhere fast?
