INTRO: (organ arranged for guitar) VERSE: 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 VERSE: 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? VERSE: 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. Chorus: 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? VERSE: 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, don't you think, It's just about time to hide away? Yeah, yeah! Wah, Wah and fade out.
