These Days by 10,000 Maniacs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 for you
And all the times I had the chance to

[Verse 2]
I had a lover
Well I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days
If I seem to be afraid to
Live the life that I had made in song, well it's just
It's just that I've been losing so long
(Long, well)

[Verse 3]
I've stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones 'til ten, my friend
Please don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them
(Oh, oh, mmm, mmm)
