about

Written for the folk singer Sandy Denny. Her song 'Who knows where the time goes' was voted the best folk track ever written on Radio 2 some years ago.

lyrics

How long do some people have to wait
When they have written so much about time
About rhyme, when do they learn?

With a name that matches your hair
All you sing is pure gold
With a voice that rejoices in making our souls feel old
Did you ever find out where it goes?

Voted the best song of all time
Can't be bad, wouldn't you say, Denny
Voted the best song of all time, it can't be bad
Wouldn't you say, Denny

When you died, the world sighed weary and lost
The duet sang with mighty men
Keeping us warm in the night
Were you right?
So where does the time go?
