Mountain Stream Lyrics - Cowboy Junkies

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
