100 Years Ago - The Rolling Stones

Went out walking 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 gazing 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 walking 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 drinking 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 going to kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you

You’re going to kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you

And please excuse me while I hide away

Call me lazy bones

I ain’t got no time to waste away

Lazy bones has not got no time to waste away

Don’t you think it’s just about time to hide away?

Yeah, yeah!
