"A Hazy Shade of Winter" is a song written by Paul Simon and recorded by Simon & Garfunkel in 1966 for their 1968 album, Bookends (although it also appeared on their Live from New York City, 1967). It peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the second most popular song on the album after "Mrs. Robinson," which earlier reached #1.
The lyrics evoke the passage of the seasons, but (as the title suggests) focusing on the gloominess of winter. The chorus of the song repeats:
But 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.

Hey. I'm 62 & heard this when they first released it. So what? Do you really need to show your age credentials here to justify your opinion? Do you need to criticize other people's spelling and grammar? Pathetic. BTW, I like S&G -and- The Bangles versions. Completely different sounds. Now play nice with each other, OK, kids?
