Winter Geese

Across the evening sky all the birds are leaving
Oh, but then, you know, it was time for them to go
By the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I do not count the time, for who knows where the time goes?

Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving,
Oh, but then, you know, it was 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?

I know I'm not alone while my love is near me
I know that it's so, until it is time to go
All the storms in winter, and the birds in spring again
I do not count the time, for who konws where the time goes?
