Tim Rice - Enchantment Pa**ing Through lyrics

[RADAMES] To sail away to half discovered places To see the secrets so few eyes have seen To see moments of enchantment on our faces The moments when we smile and those in between [AIDA] If I could leave this place then I'd be sailing To corners of my land where there would be Sweet southern winds of liberty prevailing The beauty so majestic and so free [RADAMES, spoken] I will take you sailing, South. You can be my guide (sung) There'd be no ties of time and space to bind me [AIDA] And no horizon I could not pursue [RADAMES] I'd leave the world's misfortunes far behind me [AIDA] I'd put my faith and trusting in something new [BOTH] But why should I tell you this [AIDA] A stranger I just met [RADAMES] A woman whom I hardly know at all and should forget [BOTH] A journey we can only dream of Enchantment pa**ing through And how is it I say these things So easily to you [RADAMES, spoken] I'll never take you sailing! I'm never going to leave Egypt again! [AIDA, spoken] You talk as though you've been enslaved! If you don't like your fate, change it! You are your own master, there are no shackles on you! So don't expect any pity or understanding from this humble palace slave! [RADAMES] And why did I tell her this? A stranger I've just met A woman who I hardly know at all and will forget Anonymous and gone tomorrow Enchantment pa**ing through And all I've done is tell her things She already knew She knew ...She knew....
