I can't tell you that I will by your side forever more my queen
Cus' I can't give you diamond rings, and I can't give you ordinary love
There's so much in this world that you deserve
Lights they shine, but all lovers remain blind
The disaster of love is chasing me, right across the atlantic sea
Her breath it smells of red wine, yeah, and her crown glows in the dark
She tries to convince me that I'm her king
But those tender words they mean nothing
I know she'll never be my queen,
I know it, I know it, I knew it a long time ago
I've been trying to sleep at night,
but that constant weeping gives me a fright
I've never seen her crying away a pillow
I open the window and set her free,
Cus' a life in order isn't enough for a queen
With a butterfly soul
And she will fly, yeah she will fly
The disaster of love is chasing me
Right across the atlantic sea
Her breath it smells of cigarettes and her crown glows in the dark
She tries to convince me that I'm her king but those tender words, they mean nothing, I know she'll never be my queen I know it, I know it, I knew it a long time ago
