Enchantment Passing Through Lyrics

Dru Hill---Enchantment Passing Through 

 

 Music by Elton John 

 Lyrics by Tim Rice 

 

 A few more days and we'll be home in glory 

 Already they'll be getting out the flags 

 With Memphis high _______ dormitory 

 For me, I only see a lot of snags 

 

 The prospect above all I find distressful 

 Is having to give up the soldier's life 

 If anything I'm rather too successful 

 They made me hand my sword in for a wife 

 

 

 For just because I've triumphed as a slaver 

 Brought booty back to Egypt by the ton 

 Of this and every month, I'm now the flavor 

 And scheduled to do things I've never done 

 

 

 And why should I tell you this, a stranger I just met 

 A woman who in hours from now I'll certainly forget 

 Anonymous and undemanding 

 Enchantment passing through 

 My secrets and my confidence are safe enough with you 

 

 

 My days out on the field are all but ended 

 They'll put me out to grass which means the throne 

 Bedecked and bejeweled alongside my intended 

 I feel as though my heart is set in stone 

 

 

 But maybe I am being far too gloomy 

 Yes, maybe I'll make waves in pastures new 

 Find goverment and politics come to me 

 As naturally as I now talk to you 

 

 

 For just because I've triumphed as a slaver 

 Brought booty back to Egypt by the ton 

 Of this and every month, I'm now the flavor 

 And scheduled to do things I've never done 

 

 

 And why should I tell you this, a stranger I just met 

 A woman who in hours from now I'll certainly forget 

 Anonymous and undemanding 

 Enchantment passing through 

 My secret lack of confidence is safe enough with you 

 

 

 Why should I tell you this, a stranger I just met 

 A woman who in hours from now I'll certainly forget 

 Anonymous and undemanding 

 Enchantment passing through 

 My secret lack of confidence is safe enough with you
