A Hazy Shade of Winter

Time, Time, Time, see what's become of me,
While I look around, for my possiblities,
I was so hard to please,
But look around, leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.


We're a salvation army band.
Down by the riverside there's got to be a better ride
  than what you've got planned.
Carry your cup in your hand,
And look around ya, leaves are brown now, and the sky,
Is a hazy shade of winter.

Hang onto to your hopes my friends,
That's to mean a bit to say that if your hopes should pass away
  then simply pretend
That you can build them again !
Look around, the grass is high, the fields are ripe,
It's the spring time of my life......

Seasons change with the scenery,
We're entwined in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me,
 at any convenient time,
Funny while my memory sleeps we'll open noble 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  of unpublished rhyme,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.
