A Hazy Shade Of Winter — Simon & Garfunkel

Intro And Chorus Riff

Verse

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

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

Hang on to your hopes, my friend That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away Then 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

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Won't you stop and remember me At any convenient time Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts Of unpublished rhyme Drinking my vodka and lime

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
