[Verse 1]
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days

[Chorus 1]
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

[Verse 2]
I stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days

[Chorus 2]
These days
These days I seem to think about how all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway

[Verse 3]
I had a lover
I don't think I'd risk another these days

[Chorus 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days

[Chorus 4]
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
