(1966) Sandy Denny
|
|
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?
|
