Lion in my winter.

I'm a lion with no crown.



You wanna make me big man , a star on a screen.

Some kind of James Brown or something in between.

But when I ask for money you smother me in charms.

I can't live on glory when your bendin' both my arms.



I , I was a lion in winter.

And man I had friends for miles around.

I was a lion in my winter.

What good's a lion Lord, without a crown.



You're living in a cave man ,upon your marble throne.

You think you own the heavens, but you've got to be alone.

You know I prayed for sunshine, a woman with my name.

I don't want to live man, you gave away the game.



I, I was a lion in winter.

And man I had friends for miles around.

I was a lion in my winter.

What good's a lion Lord , without a crown.
