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.
