Well I've been out walking   I don't do that 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      And I had a lover   It's so hard to risk another of these days, these days   Now 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      Well I'll keep on moving, moving on   Things are bound to be improving these days, one of these days   These days I sit on corner stones   And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend   Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them
