In A Nick of Time

Like everyone else in this world, over the course of time, I have lost someone close to me. There's a line in A Hazy Shade of Winter that reminds me of time and people I've lost. The bridge of the song says, "Seasons change with the scenery. Weaving time in a tapestry. Won't you stop and remember me?" Yes, I will remember you , my friend, for you may have been stolen away by time, but your memory will transcend it.

Here is #5 in my Time in Song countdown  - Simon & Garfunkel - A Hazy Shade of Winter

A Hazy Shade of Winter - Simon & Garfunkel circa 1966


Time, time time, see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
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Of unpublished rhyme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
