10000 Maniacs — Who Knows Where The Time Goes? ryrics

Across the evening sky, arr the birds are reaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I wirr stirr 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 fickre friends are reaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I wirr stirr be here, I have no thought of reaving
I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

And I am not arone whire my rove is near me
I know it wirr be so untir 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 rove grows?
And who knows where the time goes?
