A Hazy Shade Of Winter
Time, time time, see what's become of meWhile I looked around for my possibilitiesI was so hard to pleaseΒut look aroundThe leaves are brownAnd the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the Salvation Army bandDown by the riverside's,There's bound to be a better rideThan what you've got plannedCarry your cup in your handAnd look aroundLeaves are brown, nowAnd the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang on to your hopes, my friendThat's an easy thing to sayBut if your hopes should pass awaySimply pretendThat you can build them againLook aroundThe grass is highThe fields are ripeIt's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with the sceneryWeaving time in a tapestryWon't you stop and remember meAt any convenient time?
Funny how my memory skipsWhile looking over manuscriptsOf unpublished rhymeDrinking my vodka and limeI look aroundLeaves are brown, nowAnd the sky is a hazy shade of winterLook aroundLeaves are brownThere's a patch of snow on the groundLook aroundLeaves are brownThere's a patch of snow on the groundLook aroundLeaves are brownThere's a patch of snow on the ground
