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'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 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'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.
