Only Time
BEDROOM - Enya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of Enya's song "Only Time" contemplate the uncertainty and unpredictability of life and love. The first verse poses the question of who can truly know the trajectory of the road or the passing of time. Similarly, it asks who can determine if love will flourish as one's heart desires, as love is often beyond our control and subject to the whims of time.
The second verse delves into the enigmatic nature of emotions. It ponders why the heart sighs and love disappears, again emphasizing that only time can provide the answers to these mysteries. It acknowledges that sometimes love can bring sadness and heartbreak, but ultimately concludes that time has the ability to heal and bring understanding.
The third verse reflects on the uncertainty of love's timing and how unexpected meetings or encounters can stir emotions in one's heart. It suggests that love may exist when two paths converge, but it's impossible to know when that moment will come. Additionally, it contemplates the possibility that the night, representing the unknown or hidden aspects of life, may hold the truths and secrets of one's heart.
The chorus reiterates the theme that only time can reveal the growth of love and the direction life takes. It emphasizes the song's overarching message that despite our desire for answers and certainty, it is time alone that holds the key to understanding and discovering our destiny.
