I gave her that diamond she dreamed of
And I bought her a home with a view
I took her to the end of the rainbow
But all I left her was blue

Seems I never had time to love her
And now it seems time just stands still
I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

Now, I'm here alone after leavin' her lonely
Lord, I'm livin' with a memory, I know, I can't kill
I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

Now, I'm here alone after leavin' her lonely
Lord, I'm livin' with a memory I know, I can't kill
I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

Yeah I thought I was the king of the mountain
But I was only the fool on the hill
