One By One Lyrics

Cover art for One By One lyrics by Enya

My favourite part of this is when she sings, "One by one my leaves fall, One by one my tales are told," which seems to have been omitted here. I don't think it's a song with a really deep meaning, but I like that line because it evokes a lot of things... like the passage of time... aging... experiences we'll never have again... story-telling... I really just like the image of trees representing people.
