Mountain Stream Cowboy Junkies

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
My kingdom was broad and vast
I ignored it as it passed
As I walked in these mountain streams
She left me, did my queen

[Chorus 1]
Alone to think and dream
As I walked my mountain stream
I dried tears and all my fears
With ten thousand shields and spears

[Verse 3]
My queen came back again
But I was ready to defend
My heart now hard and cold
She left me without hope

[Chorus 2]
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
