mountain stream

Lyrics

i had a dream i was a king, a king of empty things, i had a queen, she lit my way, and she wiped my tears away, my kingdom was broad and vast, i ignored it as it passed, as i walked, she left me, did my queen, alone to think and dream, as i walked my mountain streams, i dried tears and all my fears, with ten thousand shields and spears, my queen came back again, but i was ready to defend, my heart now hard and cold, she left me without hope, with gray hair upon my head, my queen and youth had fled, my youth and queen, my mountain stream, had been stolen by the years, i had a dream i was a king, a king of empty things, alone to think and dream, but not to hope, or so it seems, but not to hope, or so it seems, but not to hope, or so it seems
