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
