[Verse 1]
Sister, do you remember
When we were young?
Do you recall
Lying under the mulberry tree
In the yard?
It was fall
There in a fold of blankets
Beneath the clouds
Beneath the sun
Time was still a stranger
Still a shroud
Yet to come
[Chorus]
Where do the days, where do they go?
Where do the days, where do they go?
[Verse 2]
Mother, do you remember
In thе field
We would run?
Laughter bright as sunshinе
From your face
I was stunned
Coming back from the garden
We would race
Through the weeds
Joy was still an infant
Still a child
Still a seed
[Chorus]
Where do the days, where do they go?
Where do the days, where do they go?
[Verse 3]
Brother, I mean to tell you
About the Author
Of the trees
He was always with us
In our fears
And in our needs
The day we were at the river
With our lines
In the stream
The fire we were building
It still burns
Burns in me
[Chorus]
Where do the days, where do they go?
Where do the days, where do they go?
