A careless heart ain't no good to no one
I was going back my friends to see
Of what became my childhood day dreams
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's seen better days
It's all gone
There's nothing for you here now
Sail on"
You talk of change, something better
Cutting down that big old tree
There's flesh and blood, it's 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's seen better days
It's all gone
There's nothing for you here now
Sail on"
And 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's seen better days
Sail on"
I can still hear him say
"Ain't nothing for you now
You gotta sail on
You gotta sail on"
I'm sailing, sailing, sailing on...
