I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days...

These days I simply 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 won't do too much gambling these days
These days...

These days I simply think about
How all the changes came about my way
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...

These days 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

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 quartertones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them
