表題の曲の歌詞が、2003年以後のオールド・フレンズ・ツアーでは簡素化されて、ひねくれた部分(笑)や難解な部分(笑)、異様に早口言葉を要求する部分(笑)が無くなり歌いやすくなっています。
まとめてみました。右端に*をつけた部分がスタジオ版と違うところです。間違っていたら教えてください。
A Hazy Shade of Winter (Old Friends Tour Version)
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
Time, time, time *
Maybe you'll build them again *
And look around *
Leaves are brown *
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter *
Ah, Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time?
Time, time, time *
Look around
Leaves are brown
Theres a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
Theres a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Look around
Leaves are brown
Theres a patch of snow on the ground
(C)1966, 2003, Paul Simon
--参考、歌われなくなった歌詞--
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, its the springtime of my life
Funny how my memory skips
While looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
(C)1966, Paul Simon
