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?
|
