You say I'll never understand,
Though I'm the one with the 'experience' in life.
All that I can do is say,
We have no ordinary love.
This love that's ours today.
So what's in our history?
Were you the prince, and I the chamber maid?
And was our love always meant to be hidden?
Were you punished for loving me with pride?
Or were you promised to another bride?
Did you sacrifice our chance of happiness,
To protect me from harm?

But I don't want to say goodbye.
I don't want to say good luck, I wish you well,
For after all this time,
I've found my knight in shining armour.

The light that shines with mine.
But send for your kings and horses,
God speed them to your side.
Gather all your men for you'll travel far.
Go in search of what you're looking for,
I can never be that sign that you saw.
You decided long before we met.
You decided, I'm not suited.

That's all that needs to be said.
Go and send for your kings and horses,
God speed them to your side.
Gather all your men and stand in line.
Take up your swords and be prepared to fight.
I'll not be banished swiftly from the light.
Get ye ready, for my love
It may not be now.
But you'll remember how,
Love will survive us all.
