E                     A                   E      A
Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
E                A                         E   A
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
F#m        G#m          F#m             G#m      A
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
A                    E
I have no thought of time
   B          A         E
For who knows where the time goes?
 F#m      A              E
Who knows where the time goes?


E                   A                        E      A
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
E                A                         E  A
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
   F#m              G#m     F#m                G#m     A  
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
A                  E
I do not count the time
   B          A              E
For who knows where the time goes?
     F#m    A             E
 Who knows where the time goes?


    E        A                      E      A
And I am not alone while my love is near me
  E                  A                 E  A
I know it will be so until it's time to go
   F#m                G#m             
So come the storms of winter and 
 F#m              G#m    A
then the birds in spring again
A                 E
I have no fear of time
    B                A    E
For who knows how my love grows?
    F#m       A                 E
And who knows where the time goes?
