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've had the chance to      I 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 way   And I wonder if I'll see another hide-a-way      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      Then I'd stop my dreaming   I don'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   'Cos I have not forgotten them
