Design Lyrics - Interview - Gentle Giant

(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.
