Enya Quotes 1304809

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 waves still keep on waving
and I still keep on going — Enya

Enya Quotes 1217052

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.
