"It's All Gone" lyrics

It's All Gone

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

It's all gone
Ain't nothing
For you here now

Sail on
Ain't nothing
For you here now

You talk of change
Something better
Cutting down
That big old tree
Flesh and blood
In there somewhere
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"
Guess this old town
Seen better days

It's all gone
Ain't nothing
For you here now

It's all gone
Ain't nothing
For you here now

Sail on
Sail on

I'm sailing on
I'm running faster
Oh, than I ever
Run before
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

It's all gone
Ain't nothing
For you here now

Sail on
Sail on

Sail on
Sail on
Sail on
Yeah, yeah

Sail on
I can still hear him saying
"Ain't nothing for you now
You're gotta sail on
You're gotta sail on"
I'm sailing, sailing, sailing on
I'm sailing, sailing, sailing
Sailing on

I'm sailing, sailing, sailing
Sailing, sailing on
Sail on
Sail on
Sail on
