Elton John - Enchantment Passing Through Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by tim riceEltons solo version is unreleasedA few more days and well be home in gloryAlready theyll be getting out the flagsWith memphis high _______ dormitoryFor me, I only see a lot of snagsThe prospect above all I find distressfulIs having to give up the soldiers lifeIf anything Im rather too successfulThey made me hand my sword in for a wifeFor just because Ive triumphed as a slaverBrought booty back to egypt by the tonOf this and every month, Im now the flavorAnd scheduled to do things Ive never doneAnd why should I tell you this, a stranger I just metA woman who in hours from now Ill certainly forgetAnonymous and undemandingEnchantment passing throughMy secrets and my confidence are safe enough with youMy days out on the field are all but endedTheyll put me out to grass which means the throneBedecked and bejeweled alongside my intendedI feel as though my heart is set in stoneBut maybe I am being far too gloomyYes, maybe Ill make waves in pastures newFind goverment and politics come to meAs naturally as I now talk to youFor just because Ive triumphed as a slaverBrought booty back to egypt by the tonOf this and every month, Im now the flavorAnd scheduled to do things Ive never doneAnd why should I tell you this, a stranger I just metA woman who in hours from now Ill certainly forgetAnonymous and undemandingEnchantment passing throughMy secret lack of confidence is safe enough with youWhy should I tell you this, a stranger I just metA woman who in hours from now Ill certainly forgetAnonymous and undemandingEnchantment passing throughMy secret lack of confidence is safe enough with you
