Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - Enchantment Passing Through lyrics

rate me

Song by Dru Hill<br /><br>

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

Already they'll be getting out the flags<br>

With Memphis high __ dormitory<br>

For me, I only see a lot of snags<br>

<br>

The prospect above all I find distressful<br>

Is having to give up the soldier's life<br>

If anything I'm rather too successful<br>

They made me hand my sword in for a wife<br>

<br>

For just because I've triumphed as a slaver<br>

Brought booty back to Egypt by the ton<br>

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

And scheduled to do things I've never done<br>

<br>

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

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

Anonymous and undemanding<br>

Enchantment passing through<br>

My secrets and my confidence are safe enough with you<br>

<br>

My days out on the field are all but ended<br>

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

Bedecked and bejeweled alongside my intended<br>

I feel as though my heart is set in stone<br>

<br>

But maybe I am being far too gloomy<br>

Yes, maybe I'll make waves in pastures new<br>

Find goverment and politics come to me<br>

As naturally as I now talk to you<br>

<br>

For just because I've triumphed as a slaver<br>

Brought booty back to Egypt by the ton<br>

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

And scheduled to do things I've never done<br>

<br>

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

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

Anonymous and undemanding<br>

Enchantment passing through<br>

My secret lack of confidence is safe enough with you<br>

<br>

Why should I tell you this, a stranger I just met<br>

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

Anonymous and undemanding<br>

Enchantment passing through<br>

My secret lack of confidence is safe enough with you<br>

<br>
