100 Years Ago Songtext

von Rolling Stones

Went out walking through the woods the other day
And the world was a carpet laid before me
The birds were humming and the air smelled sweet and strange
And it seemed like a hundred years ago

Mary and I would sit upon a gate
Just gazing 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

Went out walking through the woods 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 drinking bad red wine
Don't worry about this man that you love
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up

You're gonna miss this man and say goodbye
Yeah I warn you
You're gonna miss and say goodbye (2x)
Oh Lord I warn you
And please excuse me while I hide away
Call me lazybones ain't got no time to waste away
Lazybones ain't got no time to waste away
Don't you think (2x)
It's just about time to hide away yeah yeah
