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?
<Interlude>
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?
<Interlude>
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
how my love grows?
And who knows
where the time goes?
