100 Years Ago (piano demo) Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

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
It seemed about a hundred years ago

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

Now if you see me drinkin′ bad red wine
Don't worry 'bout this man that you loved
Don′t you think it′s sometimes wise not to grow up?


Went out walkin' through the wood 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 are 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 gonna kiss this man goodbye, Lord, I warned you
You′re gonna kiss me goodbye, Lord, I warned you
You're gonna kiss me goodbye, well, well, I warned you
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, yes
