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 stop 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 stop 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 had not forgotten them
