These Days

Well 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 for you

And all the times I had a chance to

And I had a lover

But 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

So I'll keep on moving

Things are bound to be improving

These days

One of these days

These days I sit on cornerstones

And count the time in quartertones to ten

My friend

Don't confront me with my failures

I have not forgotten them
