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
And all the times I had the chance to.

I´ve stopped my rambling,
I don´t do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I´ll 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 that I have made in song
It´s just that I´ve been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I´ve stopped my dreaming,
I won´t do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don´t confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.
