Crying in the morning, trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
And my destiny says that I'm destined to fall

Enchanted
You thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted
It's a shame that you wanted me
You didn't try

Why the sad face...oh, darling
Was it my darkness...shadow light
I mean to cause no trouble for you
That is the story of my life

Enchanted
You thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted
It's a shame that you wanted me
You didn't try
Enchanted
Woah, it's just a voice through the night
Enchanted
Well, I hope you make it

You were gone, you were gone from me
When I remember someone, I remember their dreams
In those dreams that no one knows of
My destiny says that I'm destined to run

Enchanted
Ooo, you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted
It's a shame that you wanted me
You didn't try
Enchanted
Well, it's just a voice through the night
Enchanted
Well, I hope you make it

Enchanted
Well, I hope you make it
Woah, woah, woah
I hope you make it
Woah, woah, woah
I hope you make it
Hey, hey, hey
I hope you make it
Hey, hey, hey
I hope you make it

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

The opening words, which also appear later in Stevie's song Destiny, paint a picture of a woman who is grieving a lost love - she's sad, but she's "trying to be strong", waiting for time to pass and heal the wounds that were caused by a love that "don't mean what it says at all." She mourns that she is "destined to fall." She says that he might have been "enchanted" by the look in her eyes and he may have wanted her, but he "didn't try" and therefore it couldn't happen between them. She wonders what scared him off - she says she didn't intend to cause him "trouble" but, oh, well, that seems to be what she does despite her intentions - "that is the story of my life." When she says, "I hope you make it", I think she's being sarcastic. Kinda like "So you think you can just not try and find love? Good luck with that, man!" He's gone now, and she's gotta "run" away from his memory.

Stevie has said that the "you" in this song was a man who, back in the early 70s, she considered leaving Lindsey for. Well, I for one am glad this guy dissed her so that she followed her destiny back to Lindsey!

 

KELLY speculates:

You're probably right on about this one...He wanted her, but he could'a had her. She's probably kinda p.o.'d that he didn't try, but Stevie's not gonna resort to beggin' a man. He's gotta come to her.
