100 Years Ago

Went out walkin' through the wood the other dayAnd the world was a carpet laid before meThe buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strangeAnd it seemed about a hundred years agoMary and I, we would sit upon a gateJust gazin' at some dragon in the skyWhat tender days, we had no secrets hid awayWell, it seemed about a hundred years agoNow all my friends are wearing worried smilesLiving out a dream of what they wasDon't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?Wend out walkin' through the wood the other dayCan't you see the furrows in my forehead?What tender days, we had no secrets hid awayNow it seems about a hundred years agoNow if you see me drinkin' bad red wineDon't worry 'bout this man that you loveDon't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn youYou're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn youYou're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn youAnd please excuse me while I hide awayCall me lazy bonesAin't got no time to waste awayLazy bones ain't got no time to waste away
