Design

Chant)

As years drift by

and future dies.

1. He sits and he thinks

about all he's done in life,

I'm now an old man,

what have I been in life?

what did I do?

Had no end to aspire to.

2. His dreams as a boy

were of hope and intention

of making his mark

with his plans and invention,

where did they go,

how could he know how time goes.

In my day had to have

certain future,

but now you can do as you like,

all that I might have wanted,

seeking what you're after,

but not for me.

Everything comes to those who wait,

I thought everything may come to me

made my way only as I was able.

3. He knows there's no more he can do,

no romances, now bitten today

for they have all his chances,

all too late, no one waits

how time goes by.

Seeking what you're after,

but not for me

Have as my years drift by

never for me
