Strange how
my heart beats
To find myself upon your shore.
Strange how
I still feel
My loss of comfort gone before.
Cool waves wash over
and drift away with dreams of youth
so time is stolen
I cannot hold you long enough.
And so
this is where I should be now
Days and nights falling by
Days and nights falling by me.
I know
of a dream I should be holding
days and nights falling by
Days and nights falling by me.
Soft blue horizons
reach far into my childhood days
as you are rising
to bring me my forgotten ways
Strange how I falter
to find I'm standing in deep water
Strange how
my heart beats
to find I'm standing on your shore

my husband and I walked down the aisle to this song on our wedding day. A few friends started listening to Enya after this song. But we have the lyrics framed on our wall next to our wedding picture.
