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!
