Lyrics
Time, time, time
See what’s become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to pleaseI look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winterHear the Salvation Army band
Down by the river
It’s bound to be a better ride
Than what you’ve got planned
Carry your cup in your handAnd look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winterHang 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 againLook around
Grass is high
The fields are ripe
It’s the springtime of my lifeAh, 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Of unpublished rhyme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 limeI look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winterLook 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 groundLook around
Look around
Leaves are brown
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
