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
And all the times I had the chance to.

And I've stopped my rambling,
Cause I don't do that much gambling these days,
These days.
These days I seem to think a lot
How all the changes came about my way
And I wonder if I'll ever see another highway.

And I had a lover,
Well 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.

And I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days,
These days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.
