Who Knows Where The Time Goes

\"Who knows where the time goes?\" - Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention, 1967

 

The air moves around the earth

Ruffling the seas

Since a time before time took it\'s ease

Moving each river, each firth;

 

Who knows where the time goes?

Into which crevice it disappears

Ingraining itself into your fears

Permeating your woes;

 

Things once young now old

Paper flat now yellowed and faded

Hopes once bright now jaded

Things once warm now grown cold;

 

It\'s the same for all I suppose

This mystery of passing ages

This ceaseless war that time wages

Who knows where the time goes?
