Elliott Smith - These Days (Jackson Browne cover - Nico version)

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

@mymayapapaya, you should listen to rattlecake. Jackson Browne wrote this song when he was 16... 10 years before he dated NICO and gave her the rights to record the song.

@hawesro I never said it wasn't his song

@evilvon it's Nico's song from a Browne gift.

Music isn't about whose song is whose, it's about the community of people who feel something worthwhile when they hear it.
