"Gentle Giant, how would you describe your music?"

"Well, I guess [unintelligible]"

As years drift by and future dies

As years drift by and future dies

He sits and he thinks about all he's done in life (As years drift by and future dies)

I'm now an old man, what have I been in life? (As years drift by and future dies)

What did I do? (As years drift by)

Had no end to aspire to (And future dies, as years drift by, drift by)

His dreams as a boy were of hope and intention (As years drift by and future dies)

Of making his mark with his plans and invention (As years drift by and future dies)

Where did they go? (As years drift by)

How could he know how time goes? (And future dies, as years drift)

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

I thought everything may come to me

Made my way only as I'm able

I thought everything may come to me

Made my way only as I'm able

I thought everything may come to me

Made my way only as I'm able

I thought everything may come to me

Made my way only as I'm able

I thought everything may come to me (Everything come to me)

Made my way only as I'm able (Made my way as able)

I thought everything may come to me (Everything come to me)

Made my way only as I'm able (Made my way as able)

I thought everything may come to me (Everything come to me)

Made my way only as I'm able (Made my way as able)

I thought everything may come to me (Everything come to me)

Made my way only as I'm able (Made my way as)

(As years drift by and future dies)

He knows there's no more he can do, no romances (As years drift by and future dies)

Now bitter today for they have all his chances (As years drift by and future dies)

All too late, no one waits (As years drift by and future dies)

How time goes by (As years drift by, drift by)

All that I might, all that I might

All that I might, all that I might

Drift by

Have as my years drift by

Never for me
