100 Years Ago lyrics

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
