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 Iwe would sit upon a gate
Just gazin at some dragon in the sky
What tender dayswe had no secrets hid away
Wellit 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 dayswe 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-byeyeahI warn you
You re gonna kiss and say good-byeyeahI warn you
You re gonna kiss and say good-byeoh LordI 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? Yeahyeah!
