"Only Time" peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart in the Autumn of 2001. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Enya's song "Only Time" (from A Day Without Rain) was used as a backdrop in many radio and TV reports about the attacks. She initially frowned upon this use, especially when many bootlegged versions of Only Time mixed with sound effects from the attack began to appear. Enya eventually agreed to release a special edition of the song with funds going to the families of victims. Many Enya fans, however, were reportedly resentful that her music has been linked with the attacks. The song was covered in trance style by Angelica.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Who can say where the road goes Where the day flows, only time And who can say if your love grows As your heart chose, only time [Interlude] [Verse 2] Who can say why your heart sighs As your love flies, only time And who can say why your heart cries When your love lies, only time [Interlude] [Verse 3] Who can say when the roads meet That love might be in your heart And who can say when the day sleeps If the night keeps all your heart Night keeps all your heart [Interlude] [Verse 4] Who can say if your love grows As your heart chose, only time And who can say where the road goes Where the day flows, only time [Outro] Who knows? Only time Who knows? Only time
