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
