Went out walking through the woods the other day
And the world was a carpet laid before me
The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange
It seemed about a hundred years ago

Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate
Just gazing at some dragon in the sky, Lord
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away
Well it seemed about a hundred years ago

Now if you see me drinking bad red wine
Don't worry about this man that you loved
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
 
Went out walking through the woods the other day
Can't you see those furrows in my forehead?
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away
It seemed about a hundred years ago

Now all my friends is wearing worried smiles
Living out a dream of what they was
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

You're going to kiss this man goodbye
Lord, I warn you
You're going to kiss me goodbye
Lord, I warn you
You're going to kiss me goodbye
Well, well, I warn you

Please excuse me while I hide away

Call me lazy bones
Ain't got the time to waste away
Lazy bones
Ain't got the time to waste away

Don't you think it's just about time to hide away?
Yeah, yes
