Gentle Giant Design Lyrics

Design Lyrics

(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.
