Lyrics:

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
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 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Of unpublished rhyme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 (ha)
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground (ha)
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground (ha)

A lesser known and great song by Simon & Garfunkel. Thank you for the upload.
If you are looking for ideas, are you familiar with, Leaving L.A by Deliverance and Sun Goes By by Dr. Music?

Between Simon and Garfunkel and Bananarama, I have no dout.

Can you redo this with the extra horn parts that only appeared on the 45 mix? This sounds great but it'd be awesome if it matched the single!
