[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
[Verse 3]
I know I'm not alone
While my love is near me
I know that it's so
Until it's time to go
All the storms in winter
And the birds in spring again
I do not count the time
[Chorus]
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
[Outro]
Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Who Knows Where the Time Goes was written by Sandy Denny.
