Across the morning sky
All the birds are leaving
How can they know
It's time for them to go
Before the winter fire
Will still be dreaming
I do not count the time

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 

 Who knows where the time goes
Who knows where the time goes

And I am not going
While my love is near me
And I know it will be so
'Til it's time for you to go
So come the storms of winter
And the birds in spring again
I do not fear the time

Who knows how my love grows
Who knows where the time goes
