Lyrics Design - Gentle Giant

Design

As years drift by
And future dies
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
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
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
