Intro :
W ent out walkin'through the wood the other day
And the wo rld was a c arpet laid b efore me
T he buds were b ursting
And the a ir smelled sweet and str ange
And it se emed about a h undred years ago
Ma ry and I, we would sit upon a gate,
Just ga zin'at some dra gon in the sky.
W hat tender d ays, we had no secrets hid away,
Well, it see med about a hu ndred years ago.
N ow all my friends are wearing w orried smiles,
Li ving out a dr eam of what they was.
D on't you think it's s ometimes 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 k iss and say good -bye , yea h, I warn you.
You're gonna k iss and say good -bye , yea h, I warn you.
You're gonna k iss and say good -bye , oh Lord, I warn you,
And ple ase excuse me while I h ide away.
Call me la zy bones,
Ain't got no ti me to waste away,
La zy bones ain't got no t ime to waste away.
Do n't you think, don't you think,
It's ju st about time to hide aw ay ?
Ye ah, y eah !
Wah, Wah (fade out)
