A Hazy Shade of Winter

Time, time, time
 See what's become of me
 While I looked around for my possibilities
 I was so hard to please
 But look around
 Leaves are brown
 And the sky
 Is a hazy shade of winter
 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
 And look around
 Leaves are brown now
 And the sky
 Is a hazy shade of winter
 Hang on to your hopes, my friend
 That's an easy thing to say
 But if your hopes should pass away
 Simply pretend
 That you can build them again
 Look around
 The grass is high
 The fields are ripe
 It's the springtime of my life
 ♪
 Ah, 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 skips
 While looking over manuscripts
 Of unpublished rhyme
 Drinking my vodka and lime
 I look around
 Leaves are brown now
 And the sky
 Is a hazy shade of winter
 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
