A lesbian love song in which the couple ends up happily together, as this doesn't happen nearly often enough in mainstream media!
lyrics
Goodbye my second love, though you’re not second in my heart;
It’s just that I was married before I met you,
And my husband wants us to go away, so I fear that we must part;
Still I promise that I never will forget you.
If you love me like you say you do,
Please don’t leave me for him,
For you know with him your chances
For true happiness are slim.
I do love you like I say I do,
And I don’t much love my man,
But a wife’s place is at her husband’s side
In God’s great and glorious plan.
If a wife’s place is with her husband,
Then why did God make you and me?
For we were made to love each other;
Come with me, love, and be free.
Goodbye my husband dear, for you are second in my heart;
It doesn’t matter that we were married before I met her,
For my true love wants us to go away, so it’s now that we must part,
And I promise that I never will regret her.

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
