I am known for never paying attention to song lyrics and for never understanding poetry. Today, while I was folding the laundry (before I learned the ninja method) I was listening to Enya’s Watermark. I happened to actually listen to the lyrics for “Evening Falls", and then I tought: could she be talking about Death? Or is it just my imagination?

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 the room 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
