a month of nights a year of days
octobers drifting into mays
i set my sail as the tide comes in
and i just cast my 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 i just cast my fate to the wind
time has such a way of changing
a man throughout the years
and now i’m rearranging my life through all my tears
alone alone
there never was there couldn’t be
a place in time for men like me
who’d drink the dark and laugh the day
and let their wildest dreams blow away
repeat
so now i’m old i’m wise and 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
