Went out walking 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 gazing 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
Just 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 walking 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 drinking
Bad red wine
Don't worry about this man
That you love
Don't you think
Tt'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
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
Don't you think
It's just about time
To hide away?
Yeah, yeah
Ow, kiss me
Kiss me
Kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me, baby
Kiss me, baby
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Come on
Come on, babe
Kiss me
Yeah
You're gonna kiss me, baby
I warn you
I warn you
Goodbye
I warn you
I warn you
