Yes and I've been out walking I don't do that much talking these days These days These days I like to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do Yes and all the times that I had the chance to Yes and I had a lover I don't guess I'll risk another these days These days And if I seem to be afraid To live the kind of life I have made in song Well it's only 'cause I've been lonesome for so long Yeah and I'll quit my dreaming I don't do too much scheming these days These days These days I like to think about How all these changes came about my way And I thank God I live to write down another heartbreak Yes and I'll quit my rambling I don't do too much gambling these days These days These days I stand on cornerstones And count the time in quarter tones till ten Please don't confront me with my failures I have not forgotten them
