I can't live on glory when your bendin' both my arms
You gave away the game
I was a lion, a lion in winter
Upon your marble throne
You don't wanna live, man
A woman with my name
And man, I had friends for miles around
But you've got to be alone
And man, I had friends for miles around
I was a lion, a lion in winter
Oh, I was a lion, Lord
What good's a lion, Lord, without a crown?
What good's a lion, Lord, without a crown?
But when I look for money, you smother me in charms
But what good's a lion, Lord, without a crown?
You think you own the heavens
I, I was a lion in winter
You wanna make me big, man, a star on the screen
I, I was a lion in winter
You know, you know I prayed for sunshine
Some kind of James Brown or somethin' in between
I was a lion in my winter
You're living in a cave, man
