Lyrics
Across the evening sky
Observing the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
Birds are departing
But how can they know
Rhetorical question about bird awareness
It's time for them to go?
Questioning the birds' sense of timing
Before the winter fire
Before the warmth of winter fire
I will still be dreaming
Maintaining dreams despite external changes
I have no thought of time
Unconcerned about the passage of time
For who knows
Reflecting on the uncertainty of time
Where the time goes?
Pondering the elusive nature of time
Who knows
Repetition, emphasizing uncertainty
Where the time goes?
Reiteration of the theme of time's mystery
Sad, deserted shore
Depicting a desolate shore
Your fickle friends
Highlighting the transient nature of friendships
Are leaving
Friends leaving, acknowledging inevitability
Ah, but then you know
Acknowledging the necessity of departure
It's time for them to go
Recognizing the timing of farewells
But I will still be here
Commitment to staying despite changes
I have no thought
Not considering leaving
Of leaving
Contentment in the present
I do not count the time
Indifference towards time measurement
For who knows
Reflecting on the mystery of time
Where the time goes?
Questioning the unknowable nature of time
Who knows
Reiteration of the uncertainty of time
Where the time goes?
Emphasizing the enigma of time's passage
And I am not alone
Expressing companionship in love
While my love is near me
Assurance in the presence of love
I know it will be
Confidence in the enduring nature of love
So until it's time to go
Acknowledging the eventual separation
So come the storms
Anticipation of life's challenges
Of winter
Reference to the difficulties of winter
And then the birds
Expectation of renewal in spring
In spring again
The cyclical nature of seasons
I have no fear of time
Fearlessness towards the passage of time
For who knows
Pondering the mysterious nature of time
Where the time goes?
Reiteration of the uncertainty of time
Who knows
Emphasizing the elusive quality of time
Where the time goes?
Reiteration of the theme of time's mystery
