[Verse 1]

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 for you

And all the times I had the chance to

[Verse 2]

I had a lover

Well I don't think I'll risk another these days

These days

If I seem to be afraid to

Live the life that I had made in song, well it's just

It's just that I've been losing so long

(Long, well)

[Verse 3]

I've stopped my dreaming

I won't do too much scheming these days

These days

These days I sit on cornerstones

And count the time in quarter tones 'til ten, my friend

Please don't confront me with my failures

I have not forgotten them

(Oh, oh, mmm, mmm)
