Nowhere Fast by 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?
