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 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, then you know It's time for them to go But I will still be here I have no thought of leaving You know 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 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 do not fear the time For who knows where the time goes? Who knows where the time goes?
