Chris Rea - It's All Gone 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

    Haven't heard this tune in a long time, found it on YouTube and can't stop jamming it. Need to also mention that I am mesmerized by the well organised rhythm and melody of the song, I guess it comes with the class that is the essence of Chris Rea! It's all gone, there's nothing for you here now! Sail on there's nothing for you here now! Singing along at the top of my voice.

  24. j.... k....

    Chris Rea is one those artits you wish them live forever

  25. T.... W....

    So damn beautiful!!!!!

  26. M.... M....

    Chris Rea é um musico que faz musica para quem gosta de musica, simplesmente bonita, não como a maioria dos músicos que apenas querem a fama e sucesso e então fazem musica fixe, que não vale nada...

  27. S.... ....

    First heard this while listening to Superchannel on a train in France, heading from Paris to Reims. I was spellbound by it then, still am today.
    Genius.

    The thing i like about his music is that anybody can relate to it. Everbody goes back to some place sometime just to see that the place where memorys were made has changed... classic music

  34. g.... ....

    My favorite Chris Rea song, although it is hard to take a pick. What a genius.

  35. R.... A....

    I have always loved and followed this brilliant artist, since 1984. Absoloutely brilliant..

  36. D.... M....

    Pure memories

  37. t.... ....

    My favorite song for sure, totally relate to the words in the song in my life, left home young and went back home , yes all gone, sail on sail on, your the man Chris Rea - Brilliant

  38. d.... t....

    under appreciated yes ,,endless music form one English man just speechless ,words cant explain

  39. j.... r....

    Really a great Song.

  40. H.... ....

    His best tune

  41. M.... G....

    Why do shops not have this theme playing on all their adverts when they have a sale on?

    M.... G....

    Sail on - sale on? What a pun! Because this song is much better than that.

  42. A.... H....

    Another beauty from the fabulous Chris Rea !!

  43. j.... ....

    Today is the day for some serious Chris Rea.Driving my convertible along the coast today in the spring sunshine there is only one artist I want to hear.Thank you Chris, you made a great drive even better!

  44. W.... S....

    i have not heard chris rea for as long as i can remember'and now his music is in my head24 seven what a voice

  45. b.... w....

    musical genius!

  46. p.... d....

    musical genius

    p.... d....

    yes thats what i said

  47. T.... ....

    A hugely under appreciated artist. Anyone who can create Fool If You Think It's Over, It's All Gone, On the Beach, Josephine, I Can Hear Your Heartbeat, Road To Hell, Driving Home For Christmas and the sensational guitar solo on Love's Great Fears (by Deacon Blue) has to rank among the best of his (or indeed any) generation.

    T.... ....

    Well said thank you.

  48. S.... S....

    Loved this-reminds me of doing my final exams at school (O levels in the UK) in 1986. Tough times-this cheered me up and yes v summery.x

  49. A.... S....

    A real masterpiece. No matter how many times I heard it

    A.... S....

    Can't agree more!

  50. m.... w....

    great song !

  51. E.... R....

  52. B.... K....

    Its a fantastic song,phenomena!!

  53. G.... ....

    This is pure genious. Have always liked it from the first time hearing it back in 86'. It stands out for me apart from much of his other work. Very smooth and diverse instrumentation he uses in this. The lyrics also good. Good message of the need to cherish past memories of your life but to continue to move on or as he puts it 'sail on'.

    G.... ....

    I feel absolutely the same. The greatest album of Chris. First listened in1987

    G.... ....

    @Greg Parkin funny i dont recall that at all. at least not from the charts. was off ´radio´ then ollreddy again i spose ^^

  54. J.... B....

    Hi Uriel. The expression is 'Don't get me wrong'. (I'm an English teacher)

    J.... B....

    @John Barker Thank you

  55. P.... ....

    Don't get me wrong, but I think the piano at 5:27 could have built it a bit more up; it had a wonderful constructive background of beats and stuff and the piano player just took it for granted.. I do still love this song though. Big time!

    P.... ....

    Are you fucking "serious" with this garbage???? Let me and the others know when you've come close to the talent of Chris Rea. Needless to say, I won't be holding my breath. As a life-long fan of Chris', this is one of his all-time greatest works, so try again, dumb ass!

    P.... ....

    @Joseph Stewart You Dan ARSE

  56. J.... V....

    Agree with the sentiment here - better artists are difficult to find.

  57. s.... ....
