Who Knows Where The Time Goes?

The song's title has no question mark, probably because the question is purely rhetorical. Written by Sandy Denny, who recorded it as a demo in 1967, it was covered the following year by Judy Collins, who released it as the B-side of "Both Sides Now." Denny joined Fairport Convention, and it was recorded for their third album Unhalfbricking, on which it runs 5:13. In 2007, it was voted by BBC Radio 2 listeners as their favorite folk rock track of all time.

This may be Sandy Denny's greatest song but it is also her epitaph, because time ran out for her on April 21, 1978 when she died in the Atkinson Morley Hospital, London, aged just 31. She fell down a flight of stairs, was knocked unconscious, and never woke up.

The Judy Collins version appears on her album Who Knows Where the Time Goes. Sessions for the album are where she met Stephen Stills, who played guitar and bass on LP. They soon began dating, and Stills wrote the song "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" in her honor.
