Lyrics

Across the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire
I shall still be dreaming
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time
Goes?
Sad, deserted shore
Your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then
You know
It's time for them to go
But I shall still be here
I have no thought of leaving
I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I am not alone
While my love is near me
And I know it shall be so
Until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter
And then the birds in spring again
I do not fear the time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time
Goes?
