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 up wind 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 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
