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
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 Explain Request ×
