I agree with Myoria and boomlily55, and I also have a little different spin on this song. Some time ago perhaps 6 - 7 years ago I heard second hand that some christian clergymen believe that Enya's work is an introduction to Buddhism. I have an informational book titled "Essential Buddhism" and learned that one of the most important parts of Buddhism is meditation, of "being in the moment". This would also match with the line :
One day, one night, one moment
In some forms of meditation, the purpose is to attain Nirvana
If you go out on a limb this could be the lines
My dreams could be tomorrow
as well as
I'll find my day maybe
Far and Away
Other similarities to Buddhism:
Enya's music can be said to be overall very peaceful, her lyrics are removed from what is commonplace.
I saw a video in which Enya was playing on the piano for this song, and she was dressed in white and there were flowers scattered all around. Maybe a coincidence or maybe not, but some if not all buddhists have flowers present in the place where they meditate.
If I am wrong in my remarks, I would appreciate if someone corrected me, because I too would like to learn something new.
