Lyrics

1. Amarantine

You know when you give your love away
It opens your heart, everything is new
And you know time will always find a way
To let your heart believe it's true
You know love is everything you say
A whisper, a word, promises you give
You feel it in the heartbeat of the day
You know this is the way love is

Chorus
Amarantine
Amarantine
Amarantine
Love is. Love is. Love....

You know love may sometimes make you cry
So let the tears go, they will flow away
For you know love will always let you fly
How far a heart can fly away

Chorus

You know when love's shining in your eyes
It may be the stars fallen from above
And you know love is with you when you rise
For night and day belong to love


2. China Roses

Who can tell me if we have heaven,
Who can say the way it should be;
Moonlight holly, the sappho comet,
Angels tears below a tree.

You talk of the break of morning
As you view the new aurora,
Cloud in crimson, the key of heaven,
One love carved in acajou.

One told me of china roses,
One a thousand nights and one night,
Earths last picture, the end of evening:
Hue of indigo and blue.

A new moon leads me to
Woods of dreams and I follow.
A new world waits for me;
My dream, my way.

I know that if I have heaven
There is nothing to desire.
Rain and river, a world of wonder
May be paradise to me.

I see the sun.
I see the stars.

YuGong 回复 悄悄话 Amarantine can refer to:

Amarantine (album), an album by Enya
Amarantine (song), a single by Enya

The word means "unfading". It is commonly used in the forms amaranth or amaranthus in reference to flowers of specific orders. There is no such word as Amarantine in the English dictionary however Enya has derived it from the Greek "amarantos". It has been used in a variety of forms by artists in the past under poetic license.
