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've had
A chance to

I stop my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
How all the changes came about my way
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/n/nico/these+days_20611868.html ]
And I wonder if I'd 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 that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing
So long

La la la la la
La la

I'd stop my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I sit at corner stones
And count the time the quarter turns to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten yet
