‘Only Time’ was released in 2000, but became widely recognised because it was used in the TV and radio coverage of the events of September 11, 2001. According to Enya the song is about how time will heal.
Lyrics
Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose, only time
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
When your love lies, only time
As your love flies, only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies, only time
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
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
As your heart chose
Only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
Who knows? Only time
