ROLLING STONES
 (Jagger/Richards)


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?

Wend 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!
