King of the Mountain
Fool on the Hill: A Ballad of Lost Love by George Strait
Lyrics
I gave her that diamond she dreamed of
I presented her with the diamond she had desired.
And I bought her a home with a view
I purchased a house with a scenic view for her.
I took her to the end of the rainbow
I took her to experience the beauty at the end of the rainbow.
But all I left her was blue
Despite my efforts, all I left her with was sadness or feeling blue.
Seems I never had time to love her
It appears I neglected to devote time to loving her.
And now it seems time just stands still
Time seems to be stagnant now, possibly reflecting regret.
I thought I was king of the mountain
I believed I was successful and on top of the world.
But I was only a fool on the hill
However, I realize now that I was merely a foolish person on a hill.
Now, I'm here alone after leavin' her lonely
Presently, I find myself alone after abandoning her in loneliness.
Lord, I'm livin' with a memory, I know, I can't kill
I am living with the painful recollection, knowing it cannot be erased.
I thought I was king of the mountain
Again, the realization hits that I thought I was at the peak of success.
But I was only a fool on the hill
Yet, I was only a naive individual on a hill.
Now, I'm here alone after leavin' her lonely
Reiteration of the solitude after leaving her lonely.
Lord, I'm livin' with a memory I know, I can't kill
Living with the haunting memories that cannot be erased.
I thought I was king of the mountain
Once again recognizing the misconception of being at the summit.
But I was only a fool on the hill
Realizing the truth that I was only a fool on the hill.
Yeah I thought I was the king of the mountain
Reflecting on the false belief of being the king of the mountain.
But I was only the fool on the hill
Understanding that, in reality, I was just a fool on the hill.
