Enya - Dark Sky Island Lyrics






The Humming...

And all the light will be revealed
And all the future prophecy
And all the waves deceive the sea
And on the road are you and me

Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm

And all the winds are like a kiss
And all the years are nemesis
And all the moments fall in mist
And all is dust, remember this

Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm

And all the light will be, will be
And all the waves deceive
And all the waves deceive the sea
When all the light will be

And all the dust will drift away
And all the nights and all the days
And all the heavens go their way
And only change is here to stay

Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm

And all the light will be, will be
And all the waves deceive
And all the waves deceive the sea
When all the light will be

And all the stars without a name
And all the skies that look the same
And all the clouds that fade and then
Then all of this begins again

Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm

So I Could Find My Way

A thousand dreams you gave to me
You held me high, you held me high
And all those years you guided me
So I could find my way

How long your love had sheltered me
You held me high, you held me high
A harbour holding back the sea
So I could find my way

So let me give this dream to you
Upon another shore
So let me give this dream to you
Each night and ever more

Yet only time keeps us apart
You held me high, you held me high
You're in the shadows of my heart
So I can find my way

You held me high, you held me high

So let me give this dream to you
Upon another shore
So let me give this dream to you
Each night and ever more

A thousand dreams you gave to me
You held me high, you held me high
And all those years you guided me
So I could find my way

So I could find my way

Even In The Shadows

Even in the shadows
I turn around
To find you walk away
And even when I whisper
The winds will come
To steal the words I say

I could fall and keep on falling
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over
Wonder why it's not forever

Even in the silence
I hear my heart
It's still a part of you
And even in the morning
When light has come
I don't know what to do

(So high, so low) I could fall and keep on falling
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over
Wonder why it's not forever

(So high, so low) I could fall and keep on falling
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over
Wonder why it's not forever

(So high, so low) I could fall and keep on falling
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over
Wonder why it's not forever

(So high, so low) I could fall and keep on falling
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over
Wonder why it's not forever

Echoes In Rain

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Wait for the sun
Watching the sky
Black as a crow
Night passes by
Taking the stars
So far away
Everything flows
Here comes another new day
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Into the wind
I throw the night
Silver and gold
Turn into light
I'm on the road
I know the way
Everything flows
Here comes another new day

Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Echoes in rain
Drifting in waves
Long journey home
Never too late
Black as a crow
Night comes again
Everything flows
Here comes another new day

Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh

Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia

I Could Never Say Goodbye

Night has gone without my tears
Now I walk alone
You're no longer here
The days turn to years

I could never say goodbye
To the sadness in my eyes
You know you are in my heart
But the miles keep us apart

Time moves slow
In the falling rain
I still dream of you
And whisper your name
Will I see you once again?

I could never say goodbye
To the sadness in my eyes
You know you are in my heart
But the miles keep us apart

I could never say goodbye

Dark Sky Island

Listen to the waves speak up
The blue voice of the sea
And they whisper as they touch the shore
Come back to me
Come back to me

Boat by boat upon the waves
All come to find the light
In the darkness of the sky above
Come back to me
Come back to me

Capella, Auriga
Eta Carinae, Sagitta
Aquila, Alpha Centauri

Twilight comes to close the day
And let the night break free
And from deep blue skies the heavens rise
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me

Capella, Auriga
Eta Carinae, Sagitta
Aquila, Alpha Centaurii

Moonlight brings the ocean's storms
Like waves upon the sea
And the midnight shore calls out once more
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me

Come back to me
Come back to me

Astra Et Luna

Caelum noctis in tenebris
Astra et astra et luna non nubilae
Caelum serenum tantus cantus ventus

Amoenum mare amoena terra
Amoena orbis terrarium

Salum et aestas et via procul
Navis noctuabundum

Amoenum mare amoena terra
Amoena orbis terrarium

Amoenum mare amoena terra
Et Amoena orbis terrarium

Diamonds On The Water

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah

Listen to the river
It echoes softly
Drifting in my memories
The sound of Summer

Da-de-da-de-da-de
Da-de-da-de-da-de
Da-de-da-de-da-de
Da-de-da-de-da-de

Listen to my heart beat
As I lie dreaming
Everywhere is whispering
The sound of Summer

The diamonds on the water
Are falling from the sun
The diamonds on the water
Are...da-de-da-de-da-de

Da-de-da-de-da-de
Da-de-da-de-da-de
Da-de-da-de-da-de

Solace

What can I do to comfort you?
Don't hide away in solitude.
What can I say to show the way?
Let tears become a soft rain...

Why do you hide the loss inside?
The love you feel is in your eyes.
Why do you go upon this road
when you could find your way home.

Pale Grass Blue

A silver hue on wings of blue as all
around me shadows dance in light
Sun is high above and winds are still
enough and all I want to do is stay
And everywhere the blues are moving
in the air I see them in their flight
Sun is high above and winds are still
enough and all I want to do is stay.

For seven days they make the sky look
down upon them as they go their way
Sun is high above and winds are still
enough and all I want to do is stay.

For seven nights they wait the moment
for the morning light to come again
Sun is high above and winds are still
enough and all I want to do is stay.

And one by one they wander one by
one meander never go astray
Sun is high above and winds are still
enough and all I want to do is stay.

And so I stand and gaze and so I watch
the maze of blues depart the day
Sun is high above and winds are still
enough and one by one they fly away
Sun is high above and winds are still
enough and one by one they fly away
Sun is high above and winds are still
enough and one by one they fly away

Remember Your Smile

Lost in the mountains
Far from the crowds
We would wander together
Walking for miles
With night still before us
And day passing by
I always remember your smile

Cool in the evening
Warm in the sun
The clouds moving slowly
Time was undone
Yet the days fell before us
And nights rolled on by
I always remember your smile

Every step and each moment
Were all so worthwhile
I always remember your smile

I always remember your smile

And it's strange how for a moment
The heavens were mine
I always remember your smile

Each one has a journey
That's how it goes
Sometimes we're together
Sometimes alone

Back to: Enya


Dark Sky Island is the eighth studio album by Irish singer, songwriter, and musician Enya, released on 20 November 2015 by Warner Bros. Records. After the release of her previous album, And Winter Came... (2008), Enya was unsure of her next career move, so she decided to take a break from music, which lasted three years. In the spring of 2012, she started to write and record new material for a new album with her longtime collaborators, producer and arranger Nicky Ryan, and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan. Enya gained inspiration for the title track and the album from the 2011 designation of Sark in the Channel Islands as a dark-sky preserve and a collection of Roma Ryan's poems on islands.

Dark Sky Island received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success upon release. It peaked at No. 4 in the UK Albums Chart, Enya's highest position on the chart since Paint the Sky with Stars (1997), and No. 8 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. Elsewhere, it reached the top five in nine countries. A deluxe edition features three additional tracks. Enya promoted the album with a worldwide media tour that included performances of some songs from the album. Dark Sky Island was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Age Album.
