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 And I hadn't cast my fate to the wind To the wind, to the wind.
