Time time time see what’s become of me
while I looked around for my possibilities
 I was so hard to please
Look around, 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
Leaves are brown and the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes my friend
 that’s an easy thing to say
 If your hopes should pass away
 simply pretend that you can build them again
 I look around, grass is high, fields are ripe, 
 It’s the springtime of my life

Ooh, seasons change with the scenery
weaving time in a tapestry, won’t you stop and remember me
At any convenient time  it’s funny how your memory skips
while looking over manuscripts  of unpublished rhyme
drinking my vodka and lime, I 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
