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 the 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 the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway

I had a lover
I don't think I'll 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 have not forgotten them
