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. (repeat last verse and fade out )
