Nowhere Fast Lyrics - Careful What You Dream: Lost Songs And Rarities - Marc Cohn

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?
