ENYA - Memory Of Trees lyrics

rate me

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

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

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

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

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

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.
