Time, time, time, see what's become of me.
|
While I looked around for my possibilities,
|
I was so hard to please.
|
But look around, the leaves are brown,
|
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
|
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.
|
And look around you, the 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,
|
It's 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.
|
Oh, seasons change with 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Of unpublished rhyme,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 rhyme.
|
I look around, the leaves are brown,
|
There's a patch of snow on the ground,
|
Look around...
