These Days

I'd been out walking

I don't do too much talking these days

These days I seem to think a lot

About the things I forgot to do

And all the times I had the chance to

I quit my rambling

I don't do too much gambling these days

These days I seem to think a lot

About the many changes that came my way

And I wonder if I'd ever 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

I've quit my dreaming

I won't do too much scheming 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
