"These Days" lyrics

"These Days"
(originally by Jackson Browne)

Yes and I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days
These days I like to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
Yes and all the times that I had the chance to

Yes and I had a lover
I don't guess I'll risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the kind of life I have made in song
Well it's only 'cause I've been lonesome for so long

Yeah and I'll quit my dreaming
I don't do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I like to think about
How all these changes came about my way
And I thank God I live to write down another heartbreak

Yes and I'll quit my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I stand on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones till ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them
