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 stopped my ramblin' I don't do too much gamblin' these days These days These days I seem to think about How all the changes came about my way And I wonder if I'll see another highway And I had a lover I don't think I'll 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 losing so long Well I'll stop my dreamin' I don't do too much schemin' these days These days These days I'll sit on cornerstones And count the time in quartertones to ten Please don't confront me with my failures I had not forgotten them
