(m. jagger/k. richards)

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
Dont you think its sometimes wise not to grow up?

Went out walkin through the wood the other day
Cant 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
Dont worry bout this man that you love
Dont you think its sometimes wise not to grow up?

Youre gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you
Youre gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you
Youre gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh lord, I warn you
And please excuse me while I hide away

Call me lazy bones
Aint got no time to waste away
Lazy bones aint got no time to waste away
Dont you think its just about time to hide away? yeah, yeah!
