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
