Lirieke: Marc Cohn. The American Landscape. Nowhere Fast.

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?
