Standard (EADGBE)

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.

Verse 2...

 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.

Bridge...

 Time has such a way of changing

 A man throughout the years,

 And now I'm rearranging my life through all my tears,

 Alone, a - lone.

Verse 3...

 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 Bridge...

Verse 4

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.
