Gregg Allman takes us through his reflections of a lost love, his life’s ongoing problems and begs for some understanding in this 3 and a half minute classic.
[Verse 1]
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that 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 a chance to
[Verse 2]
Well I've had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days, these days I seem to be afraid
Live the life that I've made in song
But it's just that I have been losing, so long
[Chorus]
These days I sit on the corner stones
Count the time in quarter tones 'til ten, my friend
And now I believe I want to see myself again
[Steel guitar solo - Scott Boyer]
[Outro]
These days I sit on the corner stones
Count the time in quarter tones till ten, my friend
Please don't confront me with my failure
I'm aware of them
