14 Whispers - Going Nowhere Slowly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woke up when the clock said fifteen-four
Carried away on a mighty shore
I arrived a day later than the lost and the poor
When the wind blew and wounded me with rapture

[Verse 2]
There you stood with your cold and cloudy lands
Your filthy shoes and your gritted-gravel grasp
A man pushed me to the ocean for a bath
And sang his faithful sweet refrain

[Chorus]
Going nowhere slowly
Going nowhere slow
Going nowhere softly
Going nowhere slow

[Verse 3]
Gazing up at the thick and wicked ash
Mister Lifeline gave my wounded arm a flash
Stuck a knife into my back
I greeted soon the narrow pass
When the wind blew and won her back again

[Verse 4]
Naked draped in a tongueless towel tot
No one to hold it
For tonight the water's hot
If I suffocate
Bury me beneath the wintry moss
Sing my faithful sweet refrain

[Chorus]
Going nowhere slowly
Going nowhere slow
Going nowhere softly
Going nowhere slow

[Chorus]
Going nowhere slowly
Going nowhere slow
Going nowhere softly
Going nowhere slow

(Instrumental Break)

[Verse 5]
I awoke when the clock said six-oh-five
Mister Lifeline breaks his hands
And I cry
In spite of a drought
The little weld is dry
And the wind blows to feed my everlasting flame

[Chorus]
Going nowhere slowly
Going nowhere slow
Going nowhere softly
Going nowhere slow

[Chorus]
Going nowhere slowly
Going nowhere slow
Going nowhere softly
Going nowhere slow
