"Lion In Winter" lyrics

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 you're 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?

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?
