A Hazy Shade Of Winter

Intro:


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


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Of unpublished rhyme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
But 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...
