king of the mountain
I gave her that diamond she dreamed of, And I bought her a home with a view; I took her to the ends of the rainbow, But all I left her was blue.  Seems I never had time to love her, Now it seems time just stands still; I thought I was king of the mountain, But I was only a fool on the hill.  [Chorus] Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely, Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill; I thought I was king of the mountain, But I was only a fool on the hill.  [Chorus]   Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely, Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill; I thought I was king of the mountain, But I was only a fool on the hill. I thought I was king of the mountain, But I was only a fool on the hill...
