Well I've been out walking
I don't do that 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 a chance to

Well I've had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days, these days I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I've made in song
But it's just that I have been losing, so long

These days, these days I sit on the corner stone
Count the time in quarter tones till ten, my friend
And now I believe I come to see myself again

These days, these days I sit on the corner stone
Count the time in quarter tones till ten, my friend
Please don't confront me with my failures
I'm aware of them
I'm aware of them
