These Days

Well, 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 for you
And all the times I had a chance to

And I had a lover
But it's so hard to risk another
These days, these days

And 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

So I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving
These days, one of these days

These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
My friend, don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them
