Lyrics (as sung here)

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 shall 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, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I shall still be here, I have no thoughts of leaving
I have no thoughts 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
And I know it shall be so 'til it's time to go
So come the storms of winter there
And then the birds in spring again
I do not fear the time

For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?
