These Days — текст песни (Elliott Smith)

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 too

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
