But, she arrived two days later, alas who was to blame?

God left me on an island and said He’s coming back
But just before He left me he gave me a little sack

For a long time you ruled solely as Queen
Robed in garments of trees, lustrous and green
You wore mountains as crowns, majestic and tall
Beauty, charm, and wealth, once upon a time, you had it all

cause you knew I wasn't strong
You took my heart and you took my money
But you never called me honey
