Who Knows Where the Time Goes

Across the morning sky all the birds are leaving
How can they know that it's time to go?
Before the winter fire, well still be dreaming
And then I 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 that it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
For I do not count the time
Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

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

But I´m not alone as long as my love is near me
And I know it will be so till it's time to go
All through the winter until the birds again return in spring
And I do not fear the time
Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

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