Across the morning sky
All the birds are leaving
Ah, but how can they know
It's time for them to go
Before the winter fire we'll still be dreaming
I do not count the time
Who knows where the time goes
Sad deserted shore
Our fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then they know
That it is time, time to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
Who knows where the time goes
No, I'm not going
While my love is with me
And I know it will be so
'Til it is time to go
Then come the storms of winter and the birds of spring again
I do not fear the time
And who knows where the time goes
Who knows where my love grows
Who knows where the time goes
