Enya - The River Sings Lyrics






Our words go beyond the moon.
Our words go into the shadows.
The river sings the endlessness.
We write of our journey through night.
We write in our aloneness.
We want to know the shape of eternity.

Who knows the way it is?
Who knows what time will not tell us?

Mountains, solitude and the moon
Until the journey's end?
The river holds the lost road of the sky;
The shape of eternity?

Who knows the way it is?
Who knows what time will not tell us?

Where is the beginning?
Where is the end?
Why did we fall into days?
Why are we calling out into the endlessness?

Who knows the way it is?
Who knows what time will not tell us?

    The River Sings (Full English Translation)

    Our words go beyond the moon.
    Our words go into the shadows.
    The river sings;
    The shape of the endlessness.
    We write of our journey through night.
    We write in our aloneness in the stillness.
    The Loxian want to know
    The shape of eternity.

    Who knows the way it is?
    Who knows why time will not tell us?
    Who knows the way it is?
    Who knows why time will not tell us?

    Mountains, the moon and solitude.
    Will they be with us to the journey’s end?
    The river holds the lost road of the sky;
    the shape of eternity?

    Who knows the way it is?
    Who knows why time will not tell us?
    Who knows the way it is?
    Who knows why time will not tell us?

    Where is the beginning, where is the end?
    When did the sky first cry tears?
    The valley-dwellers asks is the end found
    In the endlessness?
    Day and night are in the unknown.
    The day tells us the measure of time.
    Why are we calling out into
    The endlessness?

    Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey)

    One’s world is the colour of a small cloud.
    We are just a moment in time.
    What is the answer that is found
    In the endlessness?

    Who knows the way it is?
    Who knows why time will not tell us?
    Who knows the way it is?
    Who knows why time will not tell us?

    Our words go beyond the moon.
    Our words go into the shadows.
    The river sings;
    The shape of the endlessness.
    We write of our journey through night.
    We write in our aloneness in the stillness.
    The Loxian want to know
    The shape of eternity.

    Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey), Ah (hey)

    Mountains, the moon and solitude.
    Will they be with us to the journey’s end?
    The river holds the lost road of the sky;
    The shape of eternity?

    Who knows the way it is?
    Who knows why time will not tell us?
    Who knows the way it is?
    Who knows why time will not tell us?

    Where is the beginning, where is the end?
    When did the sky first cry tears?
    The valley-dwellers asks is the end found
    In the endlessness?
    Day and night are in the unknown.
    The day tells us the measure of time.
    Why are we calling out into
    The endlessness?
    One’s world is the colour of a small cloud.
    We are just a moment in time.
    What is the answer that is found
    In the endlessness?
