100 Years Ago (Piano Demo) Lyrics by The Rolling Stones

Goats Head Soup (2020 Deluxe)

2020

[Verse 1]
Went out walking 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
[Verse 2]
Mary and I, we would sit upon the 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
[Bridge]
Now if you see me drinking bad red wine
Don't worry 'bout this man that you loved
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
Now my friend's wearing worried smiles
Living out a dream of what they was
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
[Verse 4]
You're gonna kiss this man goodbye
Lord, I warn you
You're gonna kiss me goodbye
Lord, I warn you
You're gonna kiss me goodbye
Well, well, I warn you
Please excuse me while I hide away
[Bridge 2]
Call me lazy bones
I 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, yeah
