These Days

(album: Julie Byrne with Laugh Cry Laugh - 2023)

Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think about
All the things that I forgot to do
For you
Oh and all the times that I had
The chance to

I've stopped my rambling ways
I do not do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my way
And I wonder if I would see another
Highway

Well I had a lover then
I do not think I'd risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
Well it's just that I have been losing
For so long

And I've stopped my dreaming ways
I do not do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I sit on cornerstones
Count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
