Enchantment Passing Through
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
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
