(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
|
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
|
Wend 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!
