Hazy Shade of Winter Lyrics - Simon and Garfunkel
Time, time, time,
See what's become of me
Time, time, time,
See what's become of me
I was so hard to please
Don't look around
The leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the Salvation Army band
Down by the riverside's,
There'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
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Of unpublished rhyme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 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

Hazy Shade of Winter Lyrics - "Hazy Shade of Winter" is a song by American rock duo Simon & Garfunkel. It was released as a single in December 1967, and was one of the duo's most successful singles, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song has been covered by several artists, most notably The Bangles.
The song was written by Paul Simon in 1965 and was initially offered to the Rascals. When the Rascals turned it down, Simon & Garfunkel recorded it for their third studio album, Bookends (1968). The song is in the key of D minor and is based around a looping piano riff.
The lyrics describe a bleak winter landscape, with references to a freezing cold sky and a solitary leaf that is "desperately in need of a lullaby". The chorus is also memorable for its haunting repetition of the titular phrase, "Hazy shade of winter".
The song has been featured in several films, including The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), and Rock of Ages (2012). It was also featured in the opening credits of the television series The Wonder Years (1988-1993).
