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