These Days

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 had a lover
It's so hard to risk another
These days, these days
Now 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
I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving 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
I had not forgotten them
