Well, I've been out walking
And 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've had the chance to...

Well, I've stopped my rambling
And I don't do too much gambling these days...
These days...
These days I sit on the corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Oh, will I see that highway?

Well, I had a lover
And I don't think I'd 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 'cause I've been moving too long

Well, I've stopped my dreaming
And I don't do too much scheming these days...
These days...
These days I sit on the corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them
