How Does That Make You Feel?

This ia a lyric from an "Enya' song. It has been on my mind lately:
how does it make you feel?

If I could be where you are

Where are you this moment? only in my dreams.
You’re missing, but you’re always
A heartbeat from me.
I’m lost now without you,
I don’t know where you are.
I keep watching, I keep hoping.
But time keeps us apart.

Is there a way I can find you
Is there a sign I should know,
Is there a road I could follow
To bring you back home?

Winter lies before me
Now your’e so far away.
In the darkness of my dreaming
The light of you will stay

If I could be close beside you
If I could be where your are
If I could reach out and touch you
And bring you back home
Is there a way I can find you
Is there a sign I should know
Is there a road I can follow
To bring you back home to me?

Glad to here you had a nice trip!

I don't know this song and it only brought back a crappy time in my life to read it. There was a person in my past that I wish I wouldn't have lost. But circumstances prove he is better left there.

You missing someone? Or Someone?

very melancholy.

perhaps the one I want to find the most, the one I want to bring back home is myself.

Strangely indifferent. Usually this would touch me deeply but at this time in my life, I don't seem to be able to relate, I wonder what that's about? It's still a beautifully written song, I love Enya!

Beautiful lyrics. It's weird that it made me think about my own self--that somehow by trying not to be what I should be, I've lost myself. I've gotten so good at being in the closet that maybe at times I've even fooled myself.

I agree, it's very melancholy. Fortunatly I am in a relatively good mood at the moment. Is this a reflection of your current state of mind???

Like the others, I feel like I'm talking to myself.

As if I'm near but yet not there yet. I'm close to my goal but still lost.

I really hope this is a Me Myself and I song!? lol

I love Enya...I just finished a round of yoga, and I have several songs of hers on a CD that I listen to while practicing.

Which CD is this from???

The lyrics make me feel lonely, like I'm missing something/someone and I don't know how to connect with them....it's sad.

I just listened to it after reading your post, I love Enya, but it made me sad listening to the word, and how it made me feel. It made me think of the person on turned me onto Enya!

I seem to associate Enya with the movie "Gladiator", which I believe she supplied the music for.
She makes me feel like there is a way to transcend the tyranny of circumstance, by internally rising to the level of felt meaning. We can be with one we love even when circumstance denies that possibility. Circumstances must of course be dealt with, but they are not paramount. So there is a feeling of loss, combined with a feeling of transcendence that is achieved by a kind of resting within.
Ennya is pretty remarkable in terms of the web of emotional subject matter she can evoke in her music.
