Who Knows Where The Time Goes? Lyrics

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?

In early recordings of this song Sandy sings "Across the purple sky" rather than "Across the evening sky".

This is a beautiful song by a not so well known artist. However, the message is still a good one. Time goes very quickly, and no one seems to know why.

A friend of mine reminded me that this song existed yesterday. I haven't been able to stop listening to it. Hands down one of my favorite songs ever penned.

My ears pricked when I heard this played as a backdrop to a TV show. A favourite from a long time ago. Downloaded it immediately and play it often. So beautifully sung.
