She continued to enjoy steady success during the 1990s and 2000s; her 2000 album A Day Without Rain sold 15 million copies[5] and she was named the world's best selling female artist of 2001. Ireland's best-selling solo musician, Enya is officially the country's second-largest musical export after the band U2. Her album sales were more than 75 million worldwide, with over 26 million in album sales in the US alone, hardly surprising, as many TV stations and networks covered the horrid events of 11 Sep 2011 with her song 'Only Time'.

IRL#1, UK#1, NL1#, CH#1, EuroHot100 #1, DE#2, SWE#2, NOR#5, AUS#6, AT#8, FR#16, IT#23, US#24
Lyrics:
let me sail, let me sail, let the orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
da da, da da, da da, da da, da da
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.
da da, da da, da da, da da, da da
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
sail away...
from the North to the South, Ebudæ into Khartoum,
from the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.
we can sail, we can sail, with the orinoco flow,
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can reach, we can beach on the shores of Tripoli
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can reach, we can beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away...
Enya - Caribbean Blue (1991)
UK#13, SWE#28, CH#32, NL#37, DE#50, US#79
Lyrics:
... Eurus...
... Afer Ventus...
... so the world goes round and round
with all you ever knew
They say the sky high above
is Caribbean blue...
... if every man says all he can,
if every man is true,
do I believe the sky above
is Caribbean blue...
... Boreas...
... Zephryus...
... if all you told was turned to gold,
if all you dreamed were new,
imagine sky high above
in Caribbean blue...
... Eurus...
Afer Ventus...
... Boreas
Zephryus...
... Africus...
Enya - Only Time (2001)
DE#1, CH#1, CAN#1, AT#2, US#10, IT#17, SWE#30, UK#32, NL#44, FR#51
Lyrics:
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
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
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
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
Who knows - only time
Who knows - only time
