This is the other song that I think could be an instrumental
There are a lot of blues in Enya's songs: Midnight Blue, PTSWS blue, soft blue horizons. And lots of water--flowing water, raining water, river water, plumbing leaks water.. oh.. she's hasn't done that one yet. Excuuusseeee me!! ;D

I love this song, it's definitely one of the most romantic songs I ever listened to! The lyrics are so full of love and Enya sings them so beautifully!

I absolutely love this song, love the lyrics, love the melody, can see I will play this one over and over.
I spent a few minutes at the piano this morning working out the chord structure, if anyone wants it.

I was thinking - when I read the title for the first time - that it would've been a kind of version of the "Midnight Blue" song from the "Wild Child" CD single - but it is not.
So ... I kind of wonder why this title was chosen ...

I do like this song, though it's not my fav in the album - but it sure is a pretty tune, eh?

This, in my personal, very humble opinion, is not a "favorite" of the album. It is definitely a beautiful song, but it doesn't fully capture or grab me like other tracks on the CD. The words are very affective, but I think it's, to me, something "lacking" to the melody and vocals. I don't like to use the word, "lacking", but it's the best one I can come up with at the moment on four hours sleep.

This is a beautiful love song. The lyrics are full of romance.

This song is already a favorite. My only complaint is that it is almost too short!
What beautiful lyrics...love the melody. I think if you've ever been fortunate enough to be in this type of relationship that this song will hit home. I like the harp-guitar-whatever strings accompaniment. Those final lines are superb..you have lost yourself in dreaming...I have lost myself in you. 6/5.

^ Those are my favourite lines too. I feel like Enya's saying to me (Now look at yourself, girl...) you have lost yourself in dreaming. Yes, I have tendency for that. But I'm glad it doesn't sound like she is scolding me

Absolutely my favourite lines in all the songs, pure poetry

This is a hauntingly beautiful song that can be taken two ways - one romantic, one deeply spiritual. Many lyrics suggest the singer is remembering moments next to the person she loves. But I had heard Enya comment that it's an expression of how she reveres the object of her faith. The music is so well-written, and the subtle change in key near the ending phrase makes it a treasure for the heart.
