A month of nights a year of days

October's drifting into May

You set your sail when the tide comes in

And you just 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

There never was there couldn't be

A place in time like open sea

We drink the dark and laugh the day

And let our wildest dreams blow away

So now you're wise and now you're smart

You're just a man with an open heart

Don't wonder how it might have been

And you just cast your fate to the wind

To the wind to the wind
