A whimsical what if song; you can slow this song down to almost a stop without
losing the song s thread. Sounds HUGE soloed on a twelve string - bring all your
finger tricks. Good luck and have fun with it!! Any hints or suggestions gladly

Verse 1...
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.
