I'd been out walking   I don't do too much talking these days   These days I seem to think a lot about the things I forgot to do   And all the times I had the chance too      I quit my rambling   I don't do too much gambling these days   These days I seem to think a lot about the many changes that came my way   And I wonder if I'd ever see another highway      I had a lover   I don't think I'd risk another these days   These days and if I seem to be afraid to live the life I have made in song   It's just that I've been losing so long      I've quit my dreaming   I won't do too much scheming these days   These days I sit on cornerstones   And count the time in quarter tones to ten      Please don't confront me with my failures   I have not forgotten them
