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? And 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? And who knows where the time goes? And I am not alone While my love is near me 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 Where the time goes? And who knows where the time goes? Across the evening sky All the birds are leaving And who knows Where the time goes? And who knows where the time goes?
