Only Time
DJ Gray & 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 song "Only Time" by DJ Gray and Enya is a reflective and introspective piece that contemplates the mysteries of life and love. The lyrics are repetitive and cyclical, with questions about the uncertainty and unpredictability of the future, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart.
The opening lines, "Who can say where the road goes? Where the day flows? Only time," set the tone for the song's philosophical and contemplative nature. The lyrics suggest that the future is unknown and unpredictable, and that we must surrender to the passage of time and the twists and turns of our lives.
The song goes on to explore the nature of love and its fragility. The lines "And who can say if your love grows/As your heart chose? Only time" suggest that love is a complex and multi-faceted emotion that cannot be controlled or predicted. There is a sense of resignation and acceptance in this verse, as if the singer is acknowledging the limits of their own agency and the inexorable march of time.
The final verse of the song is particularly poignant, with the lines "And who can say when the day sleeps/If the night keeps all your heart?/Night keeps all your heart." Here, the lyrics capture the sense of solitude and vulnerability that can accompany the quiet moments of introspection and reflection that often occur in the middle of the night. The repetition of the phrase "Only time" throughout the song underscores the central theme of the piece - that we are all subject to the whims of time, and that the future is ultimately unknowable.
