Chris Rea It's All Gone song lyrics

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
