AIDA - Enchantment Passing Through (Dru Hill) lyrics

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
