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, we'll still be dreaming I do not count the time 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 will still be here I have no thought of leaving I do not count the time Who knows where the time goes? Who knows where the time goes? And I'm not going (I'm not going) While my love is near me And I know it will be so (I know it will be so) Til it's time to go So come the storms of winter and the birds of spring again I do not fear the time Who knows how my love grows? Who knows where the time goes?
