Lyrics
How can we know when it’s time to go?
Before the winter fire, I’ll still be dreaming
I do not count the time
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 when 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
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
Of the winter until the birds in spring again
I do not fear of time
Who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?
