Time, time, time
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, 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, 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.
Ahhh, 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 Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts Of unpublished rhyme. Drinking my vodka and lime.
But look around, leaves are brown nowAnd the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around, leaves are brownThere’s a patch of snow on the ground...
**This song has been playing around in my head all evening. No, I didnt watch a rerun of "Less than Zero" (although I would have if it was on). The funny thing is that I thought the Bangles wrote this. Oh - how wrong I am. Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel fame wrote it. This was also covered by a group called Sodom (interesting listen online).
The reason I posted it - is that many songs mean different things to others.
You could probably look it up and see what Paul Simon was thinking about when he wrote it.
But - let play pretend and guess what it's supposed to mean....
Go on...You first.

I am going to take a wild guess and say that its about a person looking back on their life realizing they are getting older? Didnt Robert Frost write a poem similar to that affect?
On a side note...Every time I look at your side bar where the "Previous Posts" are, I see "Farting.." and have to crack up laughing. Yes, I am easily amused. LOL! :)
I thought it was something about a keeping your hopes up. A new beginning? Something new is awaiting you around the corner?
Who knows - I love this song. Can you hear the guitar riff in your head???
Kitty - the farting problem stil plagues me til this very day. It's not very ladylike - but then who said I was. haha!
