About the song

…the hymnal ‘I Could Never Say Goodbye’ is sparse in its reflective beauty…

Dark Sky Island Press Release

It happens with families, you know. One of the songs, “I could never say goodbye”, speaks about loss. It can be loss of someone who died, I believe that with age it is inevitable to one day lose someone very dear to you.

Enya for BalkanRock, 2015

Lyrics

Night has gone
          without my tears,
now I walk alone,
you’re no longer here,
the days turn to years.

I could never say goodbye
to the sadness in my eyes.
You know you are in my heart
but the miles keep us apart.

Time moves on
          in the falling rain.
I still dream of you
and whisper your name.
Will I see you once again?

I could never say goodbye
to the sadness in my eyes.
You know you are in my heart
but the miles keep us apart.

I could never say goodbye…
