Who Knows Where The Time Goes? - Fairport Convention

Across the evening sky

All the birds are leaving

But how can they know

It's time for them to go

Before the winter fire

I will still be dreaming

I have no thought of time

For 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

For who knows

Where the time goes

Who knows where the time goes

And I am not alone

While my love is near me

I know it will be so

Until it's time to go

So come the storms of winter

And then the birds in spring again

I have no fear of time

For who knows

How my love grows

And who knows

Where the time goes
