Evening Falls Lyrics

written by:   Enya/Roma Ryan

When the evening falls and the daylight is fading,
from within me calls - could it be I am sleeping?
For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely.
    close to home - I cannot say.
    close to home   feeling so far away.

As I walk there before me a shadow
from another world, where no other can follow.
  carry me to my own, to where I can cross over...
    close to home - I cannot say.
    close to home   feeling so far away.


Forever searching; never right, I am lost
in oceans of night.  Forever
hoping I can find memories.
those memories I left behind.

Even though I leave will I go on believing
that this time is real - am I lost in this feeling?
like a child passing through, never knowing the reason.
I am home - I know the way.
I am home - feeling oh, so far away.
