Nanci Griffith
Who Knows Where the Time Goes
[Verse 1]
Across the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It's time for them to go?

[Pre-Chorus]
Before the winter fire
I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time

[Chorus]
Who knows where the time goes?
Oh, who knows where the time goes?

[Verse 2]
Sad, deserted shore
Your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know
It's time for them to go

[Pre-Chorus]
I will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
I have no thought of time
[Chorus]
For who knows where the time goes?
Oh, who knows where the time goes?

[Verse 3]
And I am not alone
While my love is near me
I know it will be so
Until it's time to go

[Pre-Chorus]
So come the storms of winter
Then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time

[Chorus]
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?

[Outro]
