Enya Album

Out of night has come the day.
Out of night, our small earth.

Our words drift away.
Our words journey
To find those who will listen.

We call out into the distance...
We call out into the distance...
We call out into the distance...
We call out into the distance...

Less than a pearl in a sea of stars,
We are a lost island in the shadows.

It may be our words become lost.
It may be our words find nothing, find no-one.

We call out into the distance...
We call out into the distance...

Every time, the rain comes down
Close my eyes and listen
I can hear the lonesome sound
Of the sky, as it cries

CHORUS:
Listen to the rain!
Here it comes again!
Hear it in the rain!

Feel the touch of tears that fall
They won't fall forever
In the way, the day will flow
All things come, all things go

CHORUS

Late at night, I drift away
I can hear you calling
And my name is in the rain
Leaves on trees, whispering
Deep blue seas, mysteries

Even when this moment ends
Can't let go this feeling
Everything will come again in the sound falling down
Of the sky, as it cries
Hear my name in the rain

Where are you this moment
Only in my dreams
You're missing, but you're always
a heartbeat from me.

I'm lost now without you.
I don't know where you are.
I keep watching,
I keep hoping,
but time keeps us apart.

[chorus]
Is there a way I can find you?
Is there a sign I should know?
Is there a road I could follow,
to bring you back home?

Winter lies before me,
Now you're so far away
In the darkness of my dreaming
The light tore, you will stay

If I could be close beside you
If I could be where you are
If I could reach out and touch you
And bring you back home

[chorus]
Is there a way I can find you?
Is there a sign I should know?
Is there a road I could follow,
to bring you back home?

To me...

Our words go beyond the moon.
Our words go into the shadows.
The river sings the endlessness.
We write of our journey through night.
We write in our aloneness.
We want to know the shape of eternity.

Who knows the way it is?
Who knows what time will not tell us?

Mountains, solitude and the moon
Until the journey's end?
The river holds the lost road of the sky;
The shape of eternity?

Who knows the way it is?
Who knows what time will not tell us?

Where is the beginning?
Where is the end?
Why did we fall into days?
Why are we calling out into the endlessness?

Who knows the way it is?
Who knows what time will not tell us?

City light shines on the harbour,
Night has fallen down.
Trough the darkness and the shadow
I will still go on.
Long long journey through the darkness,
Long long way to go.
But what are miles across the ocean
To the heart that's coming home?
Where the road runs through the volley,
Where the river flowes,
I will follow every highway
To the place I know.
Long long journey through the darkness,
Long long way to go.
But what are miles across the ocean
To the heart that's coming home?

Long long journey out of nowhere,
Long long way to go.
But what are sighns and what is sadness
To the heart that's coming home?

Translation:
Wild Violet

The poignancy of things
A purple flower
The blossom of springs
and the light snow of winter
How they fall

The beauty of nature
A green leaf and
Autumn colours

The voice of the wind
The song of birds
A sad sea
A joyful sea
Mountains
Pebbles

Summer. When the day is over
There's a heart a little colder;
Someone said goodbye,
But you don't know why.
Somewhere there is someone keeping
All the tears they have been weeping,
Someone said goodbye,
But you don't know why.

Is there a reason
Why a broken heart begins to cry?
Is there a reason
You were lost although you don't know why?
Give me a reason
Why you never want to say goodbye.
If there's a reason,
I don't know why.

Always looking for a meaning,
All the time you keep believing,
But I don't know why
You won't say goodbye.
Even when the sun is shining
You don't see the silver lining,
But I don't know why
You won't say goodbye.

Is there a reason
Why a broken dream can never fly?
Is there a reason
You believe and then you close your eyes?
Give me a reason
Why you hide away so much inside.
If there's a reason,
I don't know why.

Is there a reason
Why a broken heart begins to cry?
Is there a reason
You were lost although you don't know why?
Give me a reason
Why you never want to say goodbye.
If there's a reason
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.

It's only now when words are said
That break my heart in two,
I wonder how you can endure
All I've said, all I say to you.

How strong, how brave, how true of you
To bear the hurt I gave.
I know it tears your heart in two:
All I've said, all I say to you.

After all the words are said,
After all the dreams we made;
Every one a precious one,
Every one a summer sun...

A moment lost, forever gone,
Can never be again,
So know how much it means to me;
All you said,
All you gave,
All your love to me.

[No lyrics]

How I remember sleepless nights
When we would read by candlelight,
And on the windowpane outside
A new world made of snow;

A million feathers falling down,
A million stars that touch the ground,
So many secrets to be found
Amid the falling snow.

Maybe I am falling down.
Tell me should I touch the ground?
Maybe I won't make a sound
In the darkness all around.

The silence of a winter's night
Brings memories I hold inside;
Remembering a blue moonlight
Upon the fallen snow.

Maybe I am falling down.
Tell me should I touch the ground?
Maybe I won't make sound
In the darkness all around.

I close my window to the night.
I leave the sky her tears of white.
And all is lit by candlelight
Amid the falling snow.

From the City of Constellations
To the wanderer
And a Place of Rains
He journeys on...
...The City of hesitation and doubt
The Island of the house of the colour of the sea
The Plain of Mementoes
He journeys on to find his love...
...The Valley of lost time
The City of End and Endlessness
The Isle of Revenents
He journeys on...
...The City of Solitudes
The City of the distance from you
The City of Words of blue
And yellow and red and green
He journeys on to find his love...

...Where the road takes him through
The City of Sleep
The thinking that does not end is within him
Then he dreams
The road takes him
This man who is searching
It brings him
In silence through the night

Where the Cities that do not Exist, exist
It brings him
In silence through the night
Close to the City of Realisations;
It is here one finds the way...
...Mount Orison
The City of Days
The Tree of the lost
He journeys on...
...North of his love
A road through a valley of darkness
The islands that are not of this world
He journeys on to find his love...

It is a long way through darkness
To the way of the eremite
The eremite sings of the world and of
The journey of love, which is not lost in eternity
...The Valley where the moon is caught in the trees
Water shows the hidden heart
Endlong into midnight
He journeys on...
...The parable of day
The Room of Books
Where the winds come to him and say...
