 A month of nights, a year of days

 Octobers drifting into Mays

 You set your sail when the tide comes in

 And you cast your fate to the wind

 

 You shift your course along the breeze

 Won't sail up wind on memories

 The empty sky is your best friend

 And you just cast your fate to the wind

 

 That time has such a way of changing a man throughout the years

 And now you're rearranging your life through all your tears

 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
