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'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 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 don't do too much scheming

These days, these days



These days I sit on corner stones

Count the time in quarter tones to ten

Please don't confront me with my failures

I have not forgotten them
