These days

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 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 I don't remember who
I used to be when I knew where to go
And I wonder if I'll ever know

And I had a lover
I don't think I'd risk another these days
These days if it seems I'm afraid
To live the life that I've made in my mind
It's just that I've been losing all this time

I've stopped my dreaming
I don't do too much scheming these days
These days I watch life turn to stone
While counting time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.
