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.
