The Rolling Stones - 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!
