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'd 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   La la la la la, la la      I've stopped my dreaming   I don't do too much scheming   These days, these days      These days I sit on corner stones   Count the time in quarter tones to ten   Please don't confront me with my failures   I have not forgotten them
