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,
Its 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, Its 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of unpublished rhyme,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.

A HAZY SHADE OF WINTER (Paul Simon) -----------------------------------
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Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts Of unpublished rhyme Drinking my vodka and lime But look around, leaves are brown now And the sky is a hazy shade of winter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...
