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?
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?
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?
