Lyrics

With a quivering voice

You spoke the word

Shadow came between us

Sharp as a sword

Gone is my gladness

And vanished my pride

'Cause luck didn't stay on our side

Leaped in luxury

I cried for the moon

But the game is out

It all ended too soon

Awakening came as the belt from the blue

At last from a sheen to be true

Oh my ruthless queen

You're still the treasure of my dream

It's the twinkle in your eyes

That took me by surprise

Oh my ruthless queen

I just can't accept our love has been

I bear you no malice

You show no remorse

Love is dead and gone

It was no endless source

Your sudden leave was the finishing stroke

Considering everything grow

Oh my ruthless queen

You're still the treasure of my dream

It's the twinkle in your eyes

That took me by surprise

Oh my ruthless queen

I just can't accept our love has been

Please don't tell me

You couldn't care less

While I feel like a ship in distress

Oh my ruthless queen

I just can't accept our love has been

I can't bear to see you go

But it's all part of the show you perform

Letting romance fade little by little

Our love was precious but too brittle

Oh my ruthless queen

You're still the treasure of my dream

It's the twinkle in your eyes

That took me by surprise

Oh my ruthless queen

I just can't accept our love has been

Please don't tell me

You couldn't care less

While I feel like a ship in distress

Oh my ruthless queen

I just can't accept our love has been
