"I've 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 stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days;
These days I seem to think about how all these changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll ever see another highway.
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 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."
