A month of nights, a year of days
Octobers drifting into Mays
I set my sail when the tide comes in
And I just cast my fate to the wind.
I shift my course along the breeze
Won't sail up wind on memories
The empty sky is my best friend
And I just cast my fate to the wind
That time has a way of changing
a man throughout the years
And now I'm rearranging
my life through all my tears
Alone, alone, alone
There never was, there couldn't be
A place in time for men like me
Who'd drink the dark and laugh at day
And let their wildest dreams blow away
That time has a way of changing
a man throughout the years
And now I'm rearranging
my life through all my tears
Alone, alone, alone
So now I'm old, I'm wise, I'm smart
I'm just a man with half a heart
I wonder how it might have been
Had I not cast my fate to the wind
To the wind, to the wind.
Octobers drifting into Mays

Won't sail up wind on memories

And now I'm rearranging

Alone, alone, alone

So now I'm old, I'm wise, I'm smart
I'm just a man with half a heart

Had I not cast my fate to the wind
To the wind, to the wind.
