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
