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
