Elliott Smith - These Days (Nico cover) lyrics

I'd been out walking I don't do too much talking these days These days I seem to think a lot About the things I forgot to do And all the times I had the chance to I quit my rambling I don't do too much gambling these days These days I seem to think a lot About the many changes that came my way And I wonder if I'd ever see another highway I had a lover I don't think I'd risk another these days These days and if I seem to be afraid To live the life I have made in song It's just that I've been losing so long I've quit my dreaming I won't do too much scheming these days These days I sit on cornerstones And count the time in quarter tones to ten Please don't confront me with my failures I have not forgotten them
