Lyrics

These Days

Well I've been out walking

I don't do that much talking these days

These days

These days I seem to think a lot

About the things that I forgot to do

For you

And all the times I had the chance to...

And I had a lover

But it's so hard to risk another these days

These days

And if I seem to be afraid

To live the life that I have made in song

Well, it's just that I've been losing

For so long...

So I'll keep on moving

Things are bound to be improving these days

One of these days

These days I sit on corner stones

And count the time in quarter tones to ten

My friend

Don't confront me with my failures

I have not forgotten them...
