These Days

I've been out walking

I don't do too much talking these days

These days

These days I seem to think a lot

About the things that I forgot to do

And all the times I had

A chance to

I've stopped my rambling

I don't do too much gambling these days

These days

These days I seem to think about

How all these changes came about my ways

And I wonder if I'd see another

Highway

I had a lover

I don't think I'd risk another these days

These days

And if I seem to be afraid

To live the life that I have made in song

It's just that I've been losing

So long

La, la, la, la, la

La, la

I've stopped my dreaming

I won't do too much scheming these days

These days

These days I sit on cornerstones

And count the time in quarter tones to ten

Please don't confront me with my failures

I had not forgotten them
