100 Years Ago Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 Went out walkin' through the wood the other day

2 And the world was a carpet laid before me

3 The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange

4 And it seemed about a hundred years ago

5 Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate

6 Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky

7 What tender days, we had no secrets hid away

8 Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago

9 Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles

10 Living out a dream of what they was

11 Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

12 Went out walkin' through the wood the other day

13 Can't you see the furrows in my forehead?

14 What tender days, we had no secrets hid away

15 Now it seems about a hundred years ago

16 Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine

17 Don't worry 'bout this man that you love

18 Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

19 You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you

20 You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you

21 You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you

22 And please excuse me while I hide away

23 Call me lazy bones

24 Ain't got no time to waste away

25 Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away

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