To the tune of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"
It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel,
That I should be immortal but gave it all up.
You won't believe me;
All you will see is a queen you once knew,
Although she is dying and tired,
Sustained by nothing but Will.
I had to let it happen; I had to change.
Couldn't stay all my life in the Vale,
Looking out of the window, staying inside the tower;
So I chose Riva.
Saw him once, and my heart caught on fire;
We found we had fallen in love,
A love that transcended my soul.
Don't cry for me Isle of Riva;
The truth is I'll always love you.
I got away from Polgara's temper,
Though I could wish for some better weather.
And as for queenship, and as for power,
I never invited them in
Since I know that my life's in the Prophecy's hands.
It's my descendant
Who'll be the solution and answer our prayers,
And no matter how long he lives,
He'll never stop saying "Why me?"
Don't cry for me Isle of Riva;
The truth is I'll always love you.
I got away from Polgara's temper,
Though I could wish for some better weather.
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But now I see UL's face, and he can say
That every word is true.
