Went out walkin´ through the wood the other day And the world was a carpet laid before me The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange
And it seemed about a hundred years ago
Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate Just gazin´ at some dragon in the sky What tender days, we had no secrets hid away Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago
Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles Living out a dream of what they was Don´t you think it´s sometimes wise not to grow up?
Went out walkin´ through the wood the other day Can´t you see the furrows in my forehead? What tender days, we had no secrets hid away Now it seems about a hundred years ago
Now if you see me drinkin´ bad red wine
Don´t worry ´bout this man that you love Don´t you think it´s sometimes wise not to grow up?
You´re gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you You´re gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you You´re gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you And please excuse me while I hide away
Call me lazy bones Ain´t got no time to waste away Lazy bones ain´t got no time to waste away Don´t you think it´s just about time to hide away? Yeah, yeah!
