Across the purple sky

All the birds are leaving

But how can they know

It's time for them to go

Before the winter fire

Will still be dreaming

I have no thought of 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

It's time for them to go

I will still be here

I have not 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

Do not fear of time

Who knows how my love grows

Who knows where the time goes
