Simon & Garfunkel

hazy shade of winter

VERSE:
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, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

VERSE:
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:
Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
Then 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:
Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time
Funny how my memory slips 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Of unpublished rhyme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
