Lyrics[]
Dawn breaks, there is blue in the sky
Your face before me
Though I don't know why
Thoughts disappearing like tears from the moon
Waiting here, as I sit by the stone
They came before me
Those men from the sun
Signs from the heavens say I am the one
Now you're here, I can see your light
This light that I must follow
You, you may take my life away, so far away
Now I know I must leave your spell
I want tomorrow
Now you're here, I can see your light
This light that I must follow
You, you may take my life away, so far away
Now I know I must leave your spell
I want tomorrow

Music Video[]
The video for the song is known for being kind of random: Enya’s eyes glow and she blows up a car with her finger. As it wasn’t featured on any of the video collections, it can be obtained only by The Celts documentary DVD. Arguably, it’s the most entertaining piece of the whole thing.[1]
