Across the purple sky all the birds are leaving 
How can they know it's time for them to go 
Before the winter fire we'll still be dreaming 
I have no thought of time. 

But 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. 

But who knows where the time goes 
Who knows where the time goes. 

And I'm 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 do not fear the time. 

But who knows how my love grows 
Who knows where the time goes.
