who knows where the time goes
across the purple sky all the birds are leaving but how can they know it was time for them to go? by the winter fire i will still be dreaming i did 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 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 did not count the 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 will be so until it's time to go oh the storms in winter and then the birds in spring again i did not count the time for who knows where the time goes? and who knows where the time goes? who knows where the time goes?
Farewell to Tarwathie Words and Music by Judy Collins Universal Music Corp. (ASCAP)/ Rocky Mountain National Park Music, Inc. (ASCAP)
Farewell to Tarwathie Adieu Mormond Hill And the dear land of Crimmond I bid you farewell I'm bound off for Greenland And ready to sail In hopes to find riches In hunting the whale Farewell to my comrades For a while we must part And likewise the dear lass Who first won my heart The cold coast of Greenland My love will not chill And the longer my absence More loving she'll feel Our ship is well rigged And she's ready to sail The crew they are anxious To follow the whale Where the icebergs do float And the stormy winds blow Where the land and the ocean Is covered with snow The cold coast of Greenland Is barren and bare No see time nor harvest Is ever known there And the birds here sing sweetly In mountain and dale But there's no bird in Greenland To sing to the whale There is no habitation For a man to live there And the king of that country Is the fierce Greenland bear And there'll be no temptation To tarry long there With our ship under full We will homeward repair Farewell to Tarwathie Adieu Mormond Hill And the dear land of Crimmond I bid you farewell I'm bound off for Greenland And ready to sail In hopes to find riches In hunting the whale
