Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving   Oh but then you know, it was time for them to go   By the winter fire I will 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   Oh but then you know, it was 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      I know I’m not alone while my love is near me   I know that it’s all until it’s time to go   All the storms in winter and the birds in spring again   I do not count the time      For who knows where the time goes   Who knows where the time goes      Who knows where the time goes   Who knows where the time goes
