These Days
(Jackson Browne)
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking 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
And I had a lover
But it's so hard to risk another these days
So 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
So I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
One of these days
These days I'll sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them
