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 will still be dreaming
I have no thought of 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 will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do 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
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?

Her, among a select few others....Had they made it through, I believe it would possibly have "steered" today's music in a slightly different direction, perhaps? So sad...that the "select few" that really possess a true gift, end up going first.

Sorry but, I tend to agree with the assessment! Sandy's voice, like those others, in their way, just seems to bring more out of the music, if that's not too farfetched!

I heard a beautiful little radio documentary on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation years ago about an Iranian couple who lived in Tehran in the early 80’s with their young toddler girl in a small apartment.  During the Iran-Iraq war, when  bombs from Iraq would  hit the city these young Iranian parents  would blast Fairport Convention really loud to try to drown out the sound and keep their little girl from crying in fear.  As a father now of a  6 year old boy this story resonates with me even more. I love how music transcends all borders and cultures and how it can salve our pain and suffering.  I am determined to pass on this love to my son.

"Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" is a song written by the English folk-rock singer and songwriter Sandy Denny. Denny originally recorded the song as a demo in 1967, singing and playing guitar on the track. Later that year, she briefly joined the folk bandThe Strawbs, and re-recorded the song, again with only her voice and guitar, for what became the album All Our Own Work, which would not be released until 1973.

American folk singer Judy Collins heard a tape of the original demo recording in 1968, and decided to cover the song. She released her recording first as the B-side of her cover of "Both Sides, Now", and then as the title track of her album Who Knows Where the Time Goes, both released in 1968. Hers was the first widely available recording of the song.

In 1968 Denny joined the folk-rock band Fairport Convention. She recorded the song on her second album with the band, the 1969 album Unhalfbricking. This version had more of a rock influence.

"Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" became a signature song for both Denny and Fairport Convention, and has been covered by many artists.

In 2007, the Unhalfbricking version was voted "Favourite Folk Track Of All Time" by listeners of BBC Radio 2.



Much thanks for that history lesson about this song. I've just gone +1 to 9 and now I'm interested in hearing the Sandy Solo (vocals and guitar) demo version; I have a feeling it will knock me off my feet!
Long Live RP and getting blown away by amazing singing!!

How sensitive do you have to be to think that's a slam?  "Overshadow" does nothing to imply that the other two aren't good in their own right...just that Sandy may be better, in one's opinion.  The writer DOESN'T say they suck, blah, blah, blah, ears bleeding, terrible, garbage or anything of that nature.  Go back to your safe space and think about this for a moment.  This notion that every single word needs to be parsed for offense is getting ridiculous.  And saying anything different is stupid.  And that right there...that's a slam ya tender little lamb...

Just want to raise a glass to another member of the wonderful folk singers and musicians of the world.. One Norma Waterson who died a couple of days ago.
A great voice and presence for many years.
Wife of Martin Carthy and mother of Eliza Carthy, both of whom are folk greats in their own right.
Shine on up there Norma.. For all of us.

I saw FC in 1968 or 1969, I think at a gig at a teacher training college near Coventry (It's a bit like the sixties in general - if you can remember it clearly, you weren't there). It was as magic as you could imagine magic to be. Sandy Denny's voice had to be heard to be believed. 'Pure' doesn't even begin to describe it.

Ah, this one is new to my ears... love it! Probably only the third Fairport Convention song I've ever heard. I couldn't identify the voice, and was thinking "Baez? Mitchell?" Sandy Denny's voice equals both of theirs (and I'm not going to say any of the three are better than the others; all are sublime.) Really love the gorgeous sound of this. Thanks, Bill!

Did Corn Flakes® have an official spokesperson in the 1970s?  You may be thinking of Euell Gibbons, who did a series of TV spots for Grape Nuts®.  Anyway, there's no way anyone should be mistaking Sandy Denny's voice for that of a man.

"Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" is a song written by the English folk-rock singer and songwriter Sandy Denny. Denny originally recorded the song as a demo in 1967, singing and playing guitar on the track. Later that year, she briefly joined the folk bandThe Strawbs, and re-recorded the song, again with only her voice and guitar, for what became the album All Our Own Work, which would not be released until 1973.

American folk singer Judy Collins heard a tape of the original demo recording in 1968, and decided to cover the song. She released her recording first as the B-side of her cover of "Both Sides, Now", and then as the title track of her album Who Knows Where the Time Goes, both released in 1968.

"Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" became a signature song for both Denny and Fairport Convention, and has been covered by many artists.

In 2007, the Unhalfbricking version was voted "Favourite Folk Track Of All Time" by listeners of BBC Radio 2.

  He still plays like a crazy man though. In San Francisco recently he looked out on the crown and claimed to be pleased to see old people standing for folk music. He then veered wildly away from anything traditionally thought as folky. Too bad younger fans are so little aware of his brilliance. Some of the musicians who emerged from the ferment of the who-knows-what-fueled 60s are still doing things previously unimagined and probably never to be seen again.

Much as I enjoy the “She loves me yeah, yeah, yeah” type songs I can also cope with the odd darker song particularly when it’s as hauntingly beautiful and poignant as this one.
