Enchantment Passing Through

Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John

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

Already they'll be getting out the flags

With Memphis high in mode adulatory

Still I only see a lot of snags



For just because I triumphed as a slaver

Brought booty back to Egypt by the ton

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

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 with jewels alongside my intended

I feel as if my heart is set in stone



For just because I triumphed as a slaver

Brought booty back to Egypt by the ton, oh, yeah



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

And scheduled to do things I've never done, hey, hey



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 is safe enough in you



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

Someone who in hours from now I'll certainly forget?



So anonymous and undemanding, yeas, you are

Enchantment passing through

My secrets and my confidence is safe enough with you



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

Are safe enough with you
