Enchantment Passing Through - Musical Mania

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

Are you talking about Nubia now

Yes in a way

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

I will take you sailing South

You can be my guide

There'd be no ties of time and space to bind me

And no horizon I could not pursue

I'd leave the world's misfortunes far behind me

I'd put my faith and trust in something new

But why should I tell you this

A stranger I just met

A woman whom I hardly know

At all and should forget

A journey we can only dream of

Enchantment passing through

And how is it I say these things

So easily to you

I'll never take you sailing

I'm never going to leave

Egypt again

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

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 passing through

And all I've done is tell her things

And she already knew

She knew She knew
