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
The lyrics of Enya's song "Only Time" embodies themes of life's uncertainties, particularly in the realm of love and the passage of time. Enya explores the question of who can say where the road goes and where the day flows because only time holds the secrets of the winding journey that we find ourselves on. The opening verses show the ache of not knowing if love will grow as your heart has chosen, or if it will wither to nothing with only time left to tell the tale. The refrain of "who knows? Only time" reminds listeners that somethings in life, including love and loss, are unpredictable and inexplicable.
The song delves deeper by probing into the mysteries of the heart. Enya questions why, as love flies, the heart sometimes sighs, and when love lies, the heart sometimes cries. The song speaks to the way that love, both its presence or absence, can affect people in unexpected ways, and how our hearts can feel trapped and lost when faced with doubt or uncertainty. The verse "who can say when the roads meet, that love might be in your heart" echoes the idea that love is unpredictable and can be found in unexpected places if we have the courage to look for it.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the ephemeral nature of time and love, and how we are all subject to these unknowable forces. Despite the song's melancholic themes, Enya's ethereal voice and the mystical quality of the music infuse the song with a sense of beauty, hope, and wonder.
