Enya
Anywhere is
I walk the maze of
moments
but everywhere I turn to
begins a new beginning
but never finds a finish
I walk to the horizon
and there I find another
it all seems so surprising
and then I find that I know
Chorus:
You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
if we stay here we're not together
Anywhere is
The moon upon the ocean
is swept around in motion
but without ever knowing
the reason for its flowing
in motion on the ocean
the moon still keeps on moving
the waves still keep on waving
and I still keep on going
Chorus
I wonder if the stars
sign
the life that is to be mine
and would they let their light shine
enough for me to follow
I look up to the heavens
but night has clouded over
no spark of constellation
no Vela no Orion
The shells upon the
warm sands
have taken from their own lands
the echo of their story
but all I hear are low sounds
as pillow words are weaving
and willow waves are leaving
but should I be believing
that I am only dreaming
Chorus
To leave the thread of
all time
and let it make a dark line
in hopes that I can still find
the way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
begin a new beginning
still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish
It's either this or that way
it's one way or the other
it should be one direction
it could be on reflection
the turn I have just taken
the turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end.

Ó lá go lá, mo
thuras,
An bealach fada romham.
Ó oíche go hoíche, mo thuras,

Caribbean Blue
... Eurus...
... Afer Ventus...
... so the world goes
round and round
with all you ever knew
They say the sky high above
is Caribbean blue...
... if every man says
all he can,
if every man is true,
do I believe the sky above
is Caribbean blue...
... Boreas...
... Zephryus...
... if all you told was
turned to gold,
if all you dreamed were new,
imagine sky high above
in Caribbean blue...
... Eurus...
Afer Ventus...
... Boreas
Zephryus...
... Africus...
Flora's secret
Lovers in the long
grass
look above them
only they can see
where the clouds are going
only to discover
dust and sunlight
ever make the sky so blue
Afternoon is hazy
river flowing
all around the sounds
moving closer to them
telling them the story
told by flora
dreams they never knew
Silver willows
tears from Persia
those who come
from a far-off island
winter Chanterelle lies
under cover
Glory-of-the-sun in blue
Some they know as
passion
some as freedom
some they know as love
and the way it leaves them
summer snowflake
for a season
when the sky above is blue
when the sky above is blue
Lying in the long grass
close beside her
giving her the name
of the one the moon loves
this will be the day she
will remember
when she knew his heart
was
loving in the long grass
close beside her
whispering of love
and the way it leaves them
lying in the long grass
in the sunlight
they believe it's true love
and from all around them
flora's secret
telling them of love
and the way it breathes
and
looking up from eyes of
amaranthine
they can see the sky
is blue
knowing that their love
is true
dreams they never knew
and the sky above is blue
Lazy Days
Lazy old day
rolling away
dreaming the day away
don't want to go
now that I'm in the flow
crazy amazing day
One red balloon
floats to the moon
just let it fly away
I only know
that I'm longing to go
back to my lazy day
And how it sings and
how it sighs
and how it never stays
And how it rings and how it cries
and how it sails away... away... away....
One by one
Here am I
yet another goodbye!
He says Adiós, says Adiós,
and do you know why
she won't break down and cry?
- she says Adiós, says Adiós, Goodbye.
One by one my leaves
fall.
One by one my tales are told.
It's no lie
she is yearning to fly.
She says Adiós, says Adiós,
and now you know why
he's a reason to sign
- she says Adiós, says Adiós, Goodbye.
One by one my leaves
fall.
One by one my tales are told.
My, oh my!
she was aiming too high.
He says Adiós, says Adiós,
and now you know why
there's no moon in her sky
- he says Adiós, says Adiós, Goodbye.
No Goodbyes
for love brightens their eyes.
Don't say Adiós, say Adiós,
and do you know why
there's a love that won't die?
- don't say Adiós, say Adiós, Goodbye.
- don't say Adiós, say
Adiós, Goodbye.
- don't say Adiós, say Adiós, Goodbye.
- don't say Adiós, say Adiós, Goodbye
On my way home
I have been given
one moment from heaven
as I am walking
surrounded by night,
Stars high above me
make a wish under moonlight.
On my way home
I remember
only good days.
On my way home
I remember all the best days.
I'm on my way home
I can remember
every new day.
I move in silence
with each step taken,
snow falling round me
like angels in flight,
Far in the distance
is my wish under moonlight
Only If
When there's a shadow,
you follow the sun.
When there is love, then you look for the one.
And for the promises, there is the sky.
And for the heavens are those who cam fly.
Chorus:
If you really want to, you can hear me say
Only if you want to will you a way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
Da da da da, da da da
da da.
da da da da, da da da da da,
da da da da.
When there's a journey, you follow a star.
When there's an ocean, you sail from afar.
And for the broken heart, there is the sky.
And for tomorrow are those who can fly.
Chorus
Da da da da, da da da
da da.
da da da da, da da da da da,
da da da da.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Chorus
Ah! Je voudrai voler
comme un oiseau d'aile
Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile,
d'aile...
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Chorus
If you really want to you
can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
Only Time
Who can say
where the road goes
where the day flows
- only time
And who can say
if your love grows
as your heart chose
- only time
Who can say
why your heart sighs
as your love flies
- only time
And who can say
why your heart cries
when your love lies
- only time
Who can say
when the roads meet
that love might be
in your heart
And who can say
when the day sleeps
if the night keeps
all your heart
Night keeps all your heart
Who can say
if your love grows
as your heart chose
- only time
And who can say
where the road goes
where the day flows
- only time
Who knows - only time
Who knows - only time
Orinoco Flow
let me sail, let me
sail, let the orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
from Bissau to Palau -
in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.
from the North to the
South, Ebudæ into Khartoum,
from the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.
we can sail, we can
sail...
we can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
we can sail, we can sail...
Paint the sky with stars
Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars
Only night will ever
know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars
Who has paced the
midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Night has brought to
those who sleep
Only dreams they cannot keep
I have legends in the deep
Paint the sky with stars
Who has paced the
midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Place a name upon the
night
One to set your heart alight
And to make the darkness bright
Paint the sky with stars.
Wild Child
Ever close your eyes
ever stop and listen
ever feel alive
and you've nothing missing
you don't need a reason
let the day go on and on
Let the rain fall down
everywhere around you
give into it now
let the day surround you
you don't need a reason
let the rain go on and on
What a day
what a day to take to
what a way
what a way
to make it through
what a day
what a day to take to
a wild child
Only take the time
from the helter skelter
every day you find
everything's in kilter
you don't need a reason
let the day go on and on
Every summer sun
every winter evening
every spring to come
every autumn leaving
you don't need a reason
let it all go on and on
What a day
what a day to take to
what a way
what a way
to make it through
what a day
what a day to take to
a wild child
What a day
what a day to take to
What a way
what a way
to make it through
What a day
what a day to take to
a wild child
What a day
what a day to take to
what a way
what a way
to make it through
what a day
what a day to take to
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
what a way
