i'd been out walking
i don't do too much talking these days
these days i seem to think a lot about the things i forgot to do
and all the times i had the chance too
i quit my rambling
i don't do too much gambling these days
these days i seem to think a lot about the many changes that came my way
and i wonder if i'd ever see another highway
i had a lover
i don't think i'd risk another these days
these days and if i seem to be afraid to live the life i have made in song
it's just that i've been losing so long
i've quit my dreaming
i won't do too much scheming these days
these days i sit on cornerstones
and count the time in quarter tones to ten
please don't confront me with my failures
i have not forgotten them
