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 will still be dreaming
I have no thought of 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 will still be here
I have no thought
Of leaving
I do not count the 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
I know it will be
So until it's time to go
So come the storms
Of winter
And then the birds
In spring again
I have no fear of time

For who knows
Where the time goes?
Who knows
Where the time goes?
