A Hazy Shade of Winter

[Verse 1] Time, time, time See what's become of me While I looked around for my possibilities I was so hard to please [Chorus] But look around The leaves are brown And the sky is a hazy shade of winter [Verse 2] Hear the Salvation Army band Down by the riverside It's bound to be a better ride Than what you've got planned Carry your cup in your hand [Chorus] And look around you Leaves are brown now And the sky is a hazy shade of winter [Verse 3] Hang on to your hopes, my friend That's an easy thing to say But if your hope should pass away Simply pretend That you can build them again [Chorus] Look around The grass is high The fields are ripe It's the springtime of my life [Bridge] Ah, seasons change with the scenery Weaving time in a tapestry Won't you stop and remember me At any convenient time? [Verse 4] Funny how my memory skips While looking over manuscripts Of unpublished rhyme Drinking my vodka and lime [Chorus] I look around Leaves are brown now And the sky is a hazy shade of winter [Outro] Look around Leaves are brown There's a patch of snow on the ground Look around Leaves are brown There's a patch of snow on the ground Look around Leaves are brown There's a patch of snow on the ground
