These Days

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
