"These Days" lyrics

"These Days"
(originally by Nico)

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
And all the times I had the chance to

I stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think about all the changes
Came about my way
And I wonder if I'll see another highway

I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live life I've made in song
It's just that I've been losing
So long

I stopped my dreaming
I won't 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
These days
These days
These days
