A careless heart ain´t no good to no-one
I was going back my friends to see
Of what became of my childhood daydreams
Of all the things that used to be
To my surprise I stood alone

I walked a river of a waking dream
My father say ´Know what you´re thinking´
I guess this old town seen better days

It´s all gone
Ain´t nothing for you here now
Sail on

You talk of change, something better
Cutting down that big old tree
There´s flesh and blood in there somewhere
But no matter what you just don´t seem to see
I walk your chambers, your empty halls
I see you talking behind the doors
My father say ´Know what you´re thinking´
I guess this old town seen better days

It´s all gone

Ain´t nothing for you here now
Sail on

I´m sailing on, I´m running faster
Than I ever run before
My father say ´Know what you´re thinking´
I guess this old town seen better days
Sail on
