A thousand dreams you gave to me,
You held me high, you held me high.
And all those years you guided me,
So I could find my way.
How long your love had sheltered me,
You held me high, you held me high.
A harbour holding back the sea,
So I could find my way.
So let me give this dream to you,
Upon another shore.
So let me give this dream to you,
Each night and evermore.
Yet only time keeps us apart,
You held me high, you held me high.
You’re in the shadows of my heart,
So I could find my way.
You held me high, you held me high…
So let me give this dream to you,
Upon another shore.
So let me give this dream to you,
Each night and evermore.
A thousand dreams you gave to me,
You held me high, you held me high.
And all those years you guided me,
So I could find my way.
So I could find my way…

It is an amazing song. It’s like medicine for your soul. Without sounding presumptious…i wonder…who did help Enya find her way when she needed it? Because the way she sings it..i sort of feel she sings it to somebody.
Anyways…classic Enya ballad about love. I am just in awe and can’t wait for her whole album to be out.

Yes I agree with you.0) I love this songs..even more than the first one..

Just a little disapointed about the “video” annouced, I really thought it could be a real video clip but it’s just a long static image announcing the title. However, the song is absolutely beautiful, so it’s finally not a real problem.
Haste to hear the whole album, that is probably to be the more important release of Enya.
30 October 2015 at 7:52 PM
Yes I would face it as a clip for Only time, maybe nice and will poétique..ça November 20?

Jaqar, you say “…i sort of feel she sings it to somebody. ”
Have you ever felt that a song’s lyrics are attributed to somebody special … and back? Have you ever found a piece of poetry that can be attributed to the reader, the lover, the friend, the Muse and back again?
If you’ve noticed from the comments, so many Enya fans adore Enya simply because her music and poetry has been their only company in the hardest times and the turning points of their lives.
I guess Enya sings this beautiful chant to all those souls around her who have reached those particular dead ends in life and wished to be reborn again. More or less she might be singing that to herself… and back, and to the lover. And this is how love is; flows endlessly among those who love, amarantine. Leaving it undefined sometimes, makes it easier to feel eternal. Love is love, is love… :)

This song is a masterpiece. It’s sweet and moving but also uplifting. Reminds me of the “The Memory Of Trees” era… Enya at her best. This album is going to be her best album ever.

Wonderful
30 October 2015 at 11:20 PM
Very nice song.
The voice of Enya is so great and peaceful.
Thanks Enya and her team :)

It’s a miracle that a singer is able to hit me straight in the heart again and again and…
you held me high, you held me high…so i could find my way…
Thanks Enya!

J. Grinbo – how beautifully and precisely said! I couldn’t express it better – thank you!

Liked “A Moment Lost” back in the day, like this one too. Intrigued what the rest of the album would sound like with this choice for the 2nd “single”…
31 October 2015 at 4:35 PM
From a butterfly to a radiant star….on my way to the holy grail….i heard this beautiful piece of music….and the lyrics were like rose petals floating gently in the Zephyr breath … and my heart began to beat faster at the memory of delicious moments spent with Guinevere….thank you

Beautiful.

Just a question : is Enya still making videos with her in them? Or are they jut lyric videos?
1 November 2015 at 1:51 PM
oops (just lyric videos)
1 November 2015 at 3:45 PM
So is it just America that has the lyric video? Not that it makes much of a difference. I hope Enya will have at least one single of this album with a music video. With AWC, we only had Trains & Winter Rains. I know she doesn’t enjoy doing them as much, but it would be great, even if she filmed it in Sark.

Yes, I also find it unfortunate that Enya has not made more films clip And Winter Came, because that would be a pretty awesome movie for Christmas with his music last album.I would have watched every Christmas, but we didn’t .So I hope for this new album there will be more. Please Enya 0)

@J. Grinbo
It is indeed a song with meaning. And all of us i’m sure find our meaning in it. It was just that, by listening to it, i imagined Enya more or less telling this to somebody she holds very close to her heart. Felt it was as personal to her as it is for us.
Without being presumptious or the sound curious in the sense of invading privacy, i wonder who or what inspired her to write such a beautiful, but personal piece of music. Sure the lyrics belong to Roma, no doubt about that, but the way the whole song works, it just amazed me by how much intimate the message is and how much precious that someone is in the song.

Finally! New music from Enya. I am so excited. Her music is thearpy for me. This new song is wonderful. Can’t hardly wait to get the cd.

Dear Enya!
I just could not keep my tears back, but truly I did not want to stop them…I allowed to flow as your voice as your songs as your soul!!! Beautiful!!!
I cannot find the right word to say how deep and how touchable and how rich!
You fill up my heart with love, thank you very much for this!!!
I will build my heart and soul up again and again with these feelings!!!
I flow as You in a deep river and in a soft wind and in the whitest clouds!!
I am so thankful for all this!
Love: Hajnal
