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've stopped 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 see m 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've stopped my dreaming,
 I won't do too much scheming
 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
