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?
