A Hazy Shade of Winter lyrics

[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
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Of unpublished rhyme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
