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

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 goodbye, yeah, I warn you

You're gonna kiss and say goodbye, yeah, I warn you

You're gonna kiss and say goodbye, oh Lord, I warn you

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, don't you think it's just about time to hide away?

Yeah, yeah

Kiss your baby

Kiss your baby

Goodbye, goodbye
