Sandy Denny - Who Knows Where The Time Goes?
Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I shall still be dreaming
I do not count the time
For 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 it's time for them to go
But I shall still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I have no thought of time
For 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 shall be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I do not fear time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes
Fotheringay - The Sea
Do I ever wonder? you don't know.
You'll never follow, and I'll never show.
D'you see the water and watch it flow
And float an empty shell,
And you think that I'm hiding from the island.
You've a fault in your senses. can you feel it now?
Time? what is that? I've no time to care.
I've lived for a long while nearly everywhere.
You will be taken, everyone, you ladies and you gentlemen.
Fall and listen with your ears upon the paving stone.
Is that what you hear? the coming of the sea?
Sea flows under your doors in london town.
And all your defences are all broken down.
You laugh at me on funny days, but mine's the slight of hand.
Don't you know I am a joker, a deceiver?
And I'm waiting for the land.
