(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.
